Richmond Park is the largest park in London, and it has a long history to it. But most of us wanted to go to Richmond Park for the deers (THE BABIES ARE SO CUTE). It was quite a long way to get there. If I was not mistaken, I had to take 2 – 3 buses to go to Richmond Park. I had been to the park twice with 2 groups of people, and both experiences were drastically different.
Richmond Park is enormous, and there are multiple entrances. The first time I went there, I entered a relatively flat field with dirt paths. I saw an albino deer for the first time in my life, so it was pretty impressive. And more deers just appeared out of nowhere to find shade under the trees.
This particular area is suitable for picnic spot as the ground is flat. Then, we walked alongside a mini forest before arriving at a cliff, which provided a magnificent view of London. Later, we walked down the cliff and continued our journey until a junction, where we could see more deers. If you notice carefully, there are multiple species of deer. After we bought some ice cream, we saw some people horse riding around the park before getting some cheeky Nandos, bubble tea and beer.
The second time I went here, I used the exit as the entrance, we saw even more deers this time. Perhaps it was the peak of mating season, and we could see some male fighting over. In this case, we decided to walk into the forest as it was getting a bit hot in the open. I was not too fond of the feeling of being inside the woods, and I opted to walk out first. We then walked to a flat spot for a picnic while talking about multiple subjects of our lives.
After the first lockdown ended in London, Richmond Park was the ideal place to go. We needed to get away from the indoor prisons for some fresh air. And it was nice to see some animals.
