Toasted Fig Hikes - Group Hike #4 - Richmond Park

Overview
Toasted Fig Group Hike through Richmond Park - ancient oaks, open heathland, wild deer. Relaxed pace, great company. No car needed.

About this hike
Join us for Group Hike #4 - a scenic circular loop through Richmond Park, one of London's most extraordinary green spaces.
Just 40 minutes from central London, Richmond Park feels worlds away from the city. Ancient oaks, open heathland, and a wild deer herd roaming freely - this is the perfect Saturday morning reset.

The route
We'll be covering approximately 5 miles through Richmond Park, meeting at Richmond Gate and exploring the park's most beautiful trails.
Expect sweeping open landscape, ancient woodland, and very possibly a close encounter with the resident deer.
The terrain is easy underfoot - suitable for all fitness levels. Trainers are fine, though light walking shoes are ideal.
