Looking SE from near Ladderstile Gate towards Kingston Hill, some 36 hours after the first substantial snowfall of the winter. Ladderstile Gate, once known as Coombe Gate, is one of Richmond Park's pedestrian gates. The name derives from a step-ladder which gave access over the Park wall until replaced by a conventional gate in or about 1885. (Historical information from Collenette's book, 'A History of Richmond Park').
