At 2500 acres, Richmond Park is the largest of the Royal Parks.
This has been a royal hunting ground since the 1200's.
Henry VIII hunted in this park in the 1500's.
In 1625 King Charles I brought his family to the nearby palace to escape the plaque that was gripping London.
The plaque is a distant memory but the park remains a jewel in London.
Deer and other wildlife are abundant.
But it still remains a respite from city life.
On the way to the train station in Teddington.
Another happy hiker!!
Some of the most beautiful "fall" shots of the London area that I've seen. Just gorgeous....
ReplyDeleteGorgeous scenery! I can't believe all the deer! I'm putting this on my list of "things to do when the sun peeks out".
ReplyDeleteThis was a beautiful walk. Even the deer look beautiful in this setting. Good job!
