Richmond Park
Richmond Park is the largest open space in London and a heritage landscape of national importance. Its grassland, areas of bog and bracken, wetland, woodland and ancient parkland trees are home to herds of fallow and red deer that have been roaming the park since its enclosure as a hunting park by King Charles I in 1637. There are cycle routes, golf courses and horse riding tracks. In summer a programme of events are arranged for families.
