Only a small proportion of this grid-square - at its south-east corner - lies within Richmond Park. The area in question is a triangle of land immediately to the north and east of the Cambrian Road pedestrian gate. Along the margin of the Park is a belt of mature trees, well spaced. Species include sweet chestnut, beech, exotic oaks, and hornbeam. In this shot the tree nearest the camera is a beech. When leafless, as here in early March, the species can be recognised by its relatively smooth, pale grey bark (showing green in this shot, because of a growth of lichen). Richmond Park is a National Nature Reserve.
