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 to this day.

The park 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.

Tamsin Trail, Richmond Park

Highlight • Cycleway

A gravel trail that runs around the outside of Richmond Park open only to cyclists and pedestrians. Great for an entry point into gravel riding near central London. You can’t go too fast though because there's quite a few pedestrians and dogs on the trail, but it’s a very pleasant tour and achievable for all levels of fitness. There are also toilet stops the whole way around, as well as a number of cafes.
