View of Central London from Richmond Park

Highlight • Forest

Richmond Park is London’s largest park and is best explored by bike - if you are here to do the 11.25km perimeter loop, it’s worth going on an anti-clockwise direction, to minimise any stops at the mini-roundabouts at the park entrances.

Sheen Cross, Richmond Park

Highlight • Trail

Richmond Park is the largest of London’s Royal Parks at 2,360 acres (955 hectares) in size. Historically the hunting grounds, or the reserve of the monarch, the park is now open to the public and is now a marvellous recreation area complete with deer and a wide range of wild birds.

Here at Sheen Cross, you are at the main intersection of roads and trails within the park. There are wide open spaces with good views, trees, and the deer abound the area here. The traffic will be light as access to Richmond Park is limited.

Deer in Richmond Park

Highlight • Forest

Richmond Park is a spectacular deer park and a great place to cycle. A designated nature reserve, you will find hundreds of red and fallow deer roaming freely in the park as well as woodpeckers, squirrels and rabbits.

Charles I originally created the park in the 17th century to use as a hunting grounds. Today, it's a popular escape where you will find a golf course, sports facilities, cafes, and wonderful nature.

Tamsin Trail Gravel Path – Sunrise Viewpoint Bench, Richmond Park

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

This is a sharp end to an otherwise steady gravel climb on the Tamsin Trail. It's well worth it for a perfect sunrise viewpoint, and there's even a bench for a sit down, you earned it.

Going the other way it's a great descent, but keeping to the park's 10mph speed limit is difficult and as you'd expect in Richmond Park: it's busy unless you're up with the lark.
