A right royal park!

What a wonderful place Richmond Park is.

It is the biggest park in London and about 2500 acres in size.

Despite being surrounded by the creep of human habitation the Park has changed little over the centuries.

It has got a really varied landscape of hills, woodland gardens and grasslands set among ancient trees abounds in wildlife.

Its home to about 600 deer.

Richmond Park is a royal and the royal connections to this park probably go back further than any of the others, beginning with Edward (1272-1307), when the area was known as the Manor of Sheen. The name was changed to Richmond during Henry VII's reign.
