Richmond Park

Richmond Park covers 2500 acres and there are around 650 deer that roam free around it. The landscape has changed little over the centuries and is made up of hills, woodlands, ponds, gardens and grasslands set amongst ancient trees.

There is plenty to do at Richmond. Cycling, fishing, wildlife watching and horse riding are all possible. You can also fly kites on windy days and set up your own outdoor games.

If you want to go to the children's playground you will find this situated next to the Petersham Gate.

The magical thing about Richmond Park is that you will feel as if you are in the countryside, so if you are feeling cooped up in the city it is the perfect place to go.
