Free Parking just inside Kingston Gate. An excellent place to start a walk away from the perimeter road towards the centre of Richmond Park. We walked to both Pen Ponds and the Isabella plantation.if doing a longer walk proper walking shoes are. Recommended as ground can be quite uneven in parts

We met friends in the Kingston Gate. Car Park before proceeding in an approximate 3 mile circular walk towards the Isobella Plantation. We saw some deer on our walk. Once away from the road nice and peaceful. Excellent

There is a Free car on the left hand side just pat the small roundabout after you enter Richmond Park through Kingston Gate
This walk starts from Kingston Gate highlights English oak, beech and nine other tree species, many of them veterans, in a magnificent short walk. There are some wonderful veterans amongst them. On your outward leg, Gallows Pond was dug in 1861 to drain the surrounding land and to provide water for the deer – the gallows were just outside the Park. The pond has a water- loving willow on the other side. Above the pond and to the right of the path is the unusual sight of 100 sugar maples from Canada. Not only do these trees supply maple syrup but also their leaves appear on the Canadian flag. There are some substantial mature trees as you walk up the slope, chiefly English oak and beech . One old oak on the right has lost most of its trunk still alive with leaves on the remaining branches – opposite two much larger ancient oaks probably over 500 years old. Trees like this support a remarkable ecosystem with many hundreds of species, especially wood-eating beetles and other invertebrates and also birds, bats, fungi, liverworts. On the way up the slope you might spot some hawthorns, mainly on the left. By Thatched House Lodge, once you turn the corner, you will see a group of seven beech and another group of nine oak on the left, set in the grassland before a solitary white beam. The wood on the right of the path contains a black dark locust tree amongst many oaks and beech. Before you go down the hill, you’ll find King’s Clump which was created in 1901 with Scots and black pine planted as landscape trees on top of an old burial mound.
