Cycle path in Richmond Park
Or at least that's what it was when it was put in. As an all weather track it, not too surprisingly, proved popular with walkers and a dog was unfortunately killed by a cyclist soon after it was opened. It is now a joint path, with pedestrians having priority and a speed limit of 10mph. There are signs saying the 20 mph speed limit on the road applies to bikes. I wonder if the 10mph limit applies to runners, I used to run faster than that along it.

By the Park wall, Broomfield Hill
The trees on this part of Broomfield Hill are mostly beech and hornbeam. At this point along the Park boundary, the beeches on the far side of the wall - in private grounds - appear as tall as any inside the Park.
When the Park was first enclosed - in the reign of Charles I - a continuous passageway (the freebord) was left just outside the wall. Along this stretch of the boundary the freebord has disappeared - and I assume it was absorbed into various plots outside the park. Elsewhere it still exists, the most extensive stretch being between Roehampton and Sheen Gates: http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2257983 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2188403
