🇬🇧 UK Hiking Series: Richmond Park - Where Nature Meets Serenity 🌿

After a two-year hiatus, I've decided to finally complete this series—before memories fade or my hiking app data disappears forever! Let's dive back into one of London's most magical green spaces: Richmond Park. 📍 About Richmond Nestled in west London along the peaceful banks of the River Thames, Richmond boasts quaint neighborhoods, lush landscapes, and an escape-from-the-city vibe that feels worlds away from the urban hustle. 🌳 Richmond Park: A Wild Paradise This isn't just any park—it's a 1,000-hectare nature wonderland where: • Majestic deer herds roam freely (yes, actual wild deer! 🦌) • Vibrant green parrots (the same species I often saw in Dhaka!) chatter in the treetops 🦜 • Endless trails weave through ancient oaks and open grasslands 🌲 🥾 Hiking Routes? Follow Your Heart! The beauty of Richmond Park is that you choose your own adventure: • Take a short lakeside loop for a quick nature fix 💦 • Go full perimeter hike (about 7 miles) to spot the shyer deer herds on the western side 🗺️ • Or just wander aimlessly—every path leads to something lovely! 💭 A Personal Note After many life changes, I've rediscovered how mountains, forests, and waters ground me. Hiking isn’t just exercise—it’s soul therapy. Here’s to sharing more trails soon! 🙌 👉 Your Turn! Have you hiked Richmond Park? What’s your favorite London green escape?
