Amazingly quiet park compared with its neighbours Hampton Court, Bushy Park, Richmond Park. I guess there aren’t much to see here bar The long water & deer population but there are some decent gravel patches.

"Longwater Canal - known today as The Long Water - is a beautiful stretch of water completed in 1660 by King Charles II. In a spectacular show of affection - the king dedicated this water feature, complete with its double row of lime trees as a wedding present to his bride-to-be, Catherine of Braganza.
The 12-mile Longford river - commissioned by King Charles to bring fresh water to Hampton Court Palace - was dug by a royal tenant farmer by the name of Edward Manning. He completed the immense task in just nine months.
