Hiking

Richmond Park is a wild and rural landscape just a stone’s throw from central London. The largest of the city’s Royal Parks, Richmond was created by Charles I in the 17th century as a deer park and you can observe herds there to this day.

The site has many ancient trees and is home to a number of species of fungi, birds, beetles, bats, grasses and wildflowers. Richmond Park has many buildings of architectural or historic interest, including the Grade I-listed White Lodge, which was formerly a royal residence and is now the Royal Ballet School.
