To experience the true charisma of this area, we suggest venturing out to Richmond Park just before it gets dark so you have time to experience its natural beauty at night. Begin your walk from Richmond town centre and travel along the river before reaching Richmond Park.

The walk can be a challenging one if you head for a route that’s uphill, but you can embark on a leisurely stroll with a loved one should you wish. If you head in the same direction, the entire stretch is only 1.5 miles, which is great if you’re short on time. Alternatively, make the most of a day together by stopping off for a refreshment at one of the cafes dotted towards the town centre.
