Sometimes it is such a bless to leave the city of London, especially on a sunny weekend. One of the best options for that is the vast Richmond Park located between Richmond and Kingston. It was once a royal hunting ground created for king Edward I and is today the largest of all royal parks in the city. And it is still connected to its history as there are 650 deer that roam the park freely – a very unexpected pleasure in an urban agglomeration like the capital city of the United Kingdom.
Richmond Park is accessible from all directions and as it is ten square kilometers large you can walk for hours through meadows and forests. Throughout the park you’ll find gardens like the Isabella Plantation, restaurants and kiosks that sell you some drinks and ice cream. If you access the park from Richmond Hill you should take a walk to King Henry’s Mound, a viewpoint upon a hill. From there you can see St. Paul’s cathedral in the far distance on a clear day.
