Crossing the river at Teddington Lock, this ride makes its way to the Tiltyard Cafe at Hampton Court and then back through Bushy Park. About 9 miles.

In case you were interested, tiltyards were built for jousting matches. The one at Hampton Court was built by Henry VIII and the cafe is named after it. There is also a Tiltyard Tower, where the jousting could be watched. Not all of this info came from Wikipedia.
