Tamsin Trail, Richmond Park

Highlight • Cycleway

The Tamsin Trail is easily my favourite part of Richmond Park to cycle. It's much quieter than the main outer loop, which has become a bit of a car park. Enjoy the fine off-road trails, suitable for most bike types, but beware of runners and dog walkers at busy times.

Deer in Richmond Park

Highlight • Forest

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.

Home to the Royal Ballet Lower School since 1955, White Lodge was built in 1730 as a hunting lodge. Over the years it has been called New Lodge and Stone Lodge and boasts a succession of royalty and Prime Ministers as former inhabitants. Queen Victoria came to live here in 1861 with Prince Albert, while she was mourning the death of her mother, the Duchess of Kent.
