Tamsin Trail, Richmond Park

Highlight • Cycleway

A gravel trail that runs around the outside of Richmond Park open only to cyclists and pedestrians. Great for an entry point into gravel riding near central London. You can’t go too fast though because there's quite a few pedestrians and dogs on the trail, but it’s a very pleasant tour and achievable for all levels of fitness. There are also toilet stops the whole way around, as well as a number of cafes.

Deer in Richmond Park

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.

Roehampton Gate Café

Highlight • Rest Area

A decent cafe to stop at either while walking around the park or for a bike cafe stop. The coffee is good, and they have a good selection of biscuits and cakes and light cafe food (and beer if you like!). It is a little pricey, but that’s to be expected because of its location.

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.

Neat little place to stop for coffee and cake, especially at the weekend. Beautiful trails around the ponds themselves nearby. You could walk / run / ride in any direction from here and find a trail. 🤗🤸🏼‍♂️
