Viewpoint of Ham House

Location 3

Tips for the route: From Orleans Rd walk straight on towards the river Thames. You will see the children’s’ play garden and cafe to the right. Walk straight on to the viewpoint of Ham House with a great information board to tell you about the many stately homes in the borough. Look left along the river to see the The Royal Star & Garter Home.

Rosa Rugosa is a bite size dance film. If you look carefully over the water, you might spot one of the 15 ghosts of Ham House. The glamorous ghost of The Duchess of Lauderdale can often be heard bringing her message of warning about climate change.

Her love of flowers especially pink dog roses means you can often smell roses before she appears!!!! Watch out! She loved her garden with a passion and the joy it brought to others. If you don’t believe us on another day-out go and see the amazing kitchen gardens and wild meadows over the water.

Hammertons Ferry are a wonderful family run ferry company & highly recommended. See details below.
