Richmond Park

The park is a top UK site for ancient trees and supports a variety of rare species including fungi, birds, beetles, bats, grasses and wildflowers. Discover the woodland gardens of Isabella Plantation, refuel the tea rooms at Pembroke Lodge and enjoy distant views of St Paul's Cathedral from King Henry's Mound. Try your hand at power kiting, horse riding or golf, or hire a bike along the Tamsin Trail for some off-road cycling. Did you know that? Richmond Park has protected status as an important wildlife habitat and is a National Nature Reserve, London's largest Special Scientific Interest Site, and a European Special Conservation Area. Richmond Park is one of the eight Royal Parks in London, covering an area of 2,500 acres.
