A lovely walk in Richmond Park

I walked from Richmond Hill gate through Richmond Park to Kingston Gate, Kingston-upon-Thames.. It was a great walk - beautiful scenery.I saw a family of deer. Refreshments Pembroke Lodge cafe sells sandwiches, toasties, light snacks, all reasonably priced...It was very busy so that's a good sign...Hot drinks & plenty of outdoor tables to sit at. Visitor Centre The ladies in the neighbouring visitor centre were most helpful with timings & the routes through the park.... The visitor centre also sells nice gifts. It is a park where cars can drive - a through road.There are walkways away from the road...Many people were jogging, dog walking, or just strolling.I can recommend this place highly for peace, tranquility, getting away from the busy high street & crowds.....There's a huge expanse of open space here to explore....I walked to Kingston, but there's also a walk to East Sheen, & also to Roehampton.......It took me 40 minutes to walk to Kingston. I would highly recommend Richmond Park for an afternoon of getting away from it all & clearing one's mind. I hope you can see the deer in one of my photographs - enlarge if necessary...I did not want to get too near to them as it looked like a family of deer walking slowly in the park, unaware people are there.......they looked very calm & content.
