Richmond Park
Richmond Park is the largest Royal Park in London and is home to around 650 free roaming deer and provides an amazing view of St Paul's Cathedral. A landscape of hills, woodlands and ancient trees offers a peaceful retreat to visitors who are encouraged to take advantage and enjoy the park activities - cycling, fishing or horse riding. Children can enjoy dedicated playgrounds and observe the wildlife. Richmond Park is also great for picnics and family days-out.
This park's royal connections go back further than any other, beginning with Edward (1272 - 1307) and the park today still resembles that of a medieval deer park. Isabella Plantation, another park highlight, is a woodland garden run organically with rich flora and fauna.
The park was appointed a Site of Special Scientific Interest by English Nature and was designated a National Nature Reserve in 2000.
There are always various events taking place - guided walks, children entertainment and sports activities. Richmond Park is often used as a backdrop for television programmes, videos and fashion shoots.
