Path around edge of Richmond Park
This path was made as a cycle path but after an incident of a dog being killed in a collision with a bike a supposed 10 mph limit was introduced (which was a tad harsh, I used to run faster than that on it). With a switch to mostly road bikes on the loop road this path is mainly used by runners with occasional cyclists and things are now fairly sensible.

Trees near Cambrian Road Gate, Richmond Park (2)
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).

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 hornbeam, Carpinus betulus. Light raking across the bark highlights the broad smooth ridges which give the species its common name. This is a big, rather stocky specimen.

Tumbledown willows, Richmond Park
A clump of willows growing by a stream-bed close to the park boundary, north-east of Richmond Gate. All of the willows in this part of the park have blown over at some stage in their history - most likely in the great storms of 1987 and 1990 - but many continue to grow in a recumbent position. Traditionally willows were kept upright by regular pollarding - reducing the area of 'sail' lessened the chances of the tree blowing over.
