Footpath along the edge of Osterley Park
Osterley Park and its surrounding gardens, park and farmland is one of the last surviving country estates in London.
In 1565, Sir Thomas Gresham, financier and adviser to Elizabeth I, built a house here in a very similar location to the one today. In 1713, the Osterley estate was acquired by the Child family and in the 1760s they commissioned Robert Adam to remodel it. The Childs were a banking family with a house in central London, and they used Osterley as a country villa for entertaining. When the heiress Sarah Sophia Child married the 5th Earl of Jersey in 1804, the family moved to the Jersey estate at Middleton Park in Oxfordshire. Osterley remained in the Jersey family ownership until the Ninth Earl of Jersey gave it to the National Trust in 1949.
Apart from the more formal ground and lake surrounding the house, there are a number of footpaths through the surrounding parkland as seen here. The back gardens of the houses in Jersey Road are to the left. Walking routes are only accessible during the Park's opening times which are winter 8 - 6pm and summer 8 - 7.30pm.

Low sun, long shadows: Osterley in January
This is the south-east corner of the Osterley Park estate, an area grazed by horses. Some years ago, cattle were regularly pastured here - these days they are to be seen a little further north, nearer the motorway,
The photo was taken on what turned out to be the second really sunny day of 2011.

Feeding the horses, Osterley Park
A misty day in mid-winter. The horses are being fed in a paddock on the south-east side of the park, near Wyke Green. This looks just like the countryside - but within ten minutes' walk from here you can be on the Piccadilly Line.

Pasture land in early February, Osterley Park Farm
Up till about 15 years ago this area was regularly grazed by the local herd of cattle. These days the entire (substantial) acreage seems to be occupied by horses.
Photo taken from the narrow (and fenced) path that runs along the southern and eastern boundaries of Osterley Park between Wyke Green and the avenue south of the house.
