Sir David Attenborough says in his recent film, “Richmond Park is London’s own National Nature Reserve, with thousands of wildlife species. I’ve lived here for over 60 years and it’s been an inspiration to me. But with 5.5 million visitors a year, there is increasing pressure on the Park.”
Tread Lightly in the Park
Richmond Park is London’s own National Nature Reserve…please love it like I do and Tread Lightly, says Sir David Attenborough. See his latest films.

Richmond Park Walks with Remarkable Trees: Set 2
This item Click & Collect only
4 illustrated walk booklets, plus an introductory leaflet and a Tread Lightly leaflet, attractively packaged. Discover the diversity and majestic beauty of some of the Park’s most interesting trees through these four self-guided walks. This is the second set of this popular Friends’ series with walks starting from these car parks: Robin Hood Gate, Pen Ponds, Broomfield Hill and Kingston Gate.
All the walks are circular routes starting from a car park and are between 2.2 and 5.3km long. Each walk is in its own easy-to-use 12 page booklet, and the 2 sets of 4 walks are on sale for £5 per set.
Trees are one of the glories of the Park and one of the main reasons why it is a designated National Nature Reserve. The purpose of these walks is to allow you to find out more about the trees and also to have a good walk in areas you may not otherwise get to see. Each walk features a detailed route map and is set out in stages with clear directions to the next stage and information about the trees you will see along the way, as well as many high-class photos to help you identify them.
The walks are printed on FSC certified paper and the set, which also includes an introductory leaflet and a Tread Lightly leaflet, comes in a sturdy string and washer envelope – this will keep them safe and enables us to sell them without a plastic cover.
