Being fully mobile on my bike is such a treat. After 1 year + in my new house I finally started to discover Richmond Park beyond a walk to Sheen Gate and Isabella Plantation.
I was actually cycling to the Petersham Gate playground with the bubs when I took a wrong turn and ended up at the top of the park and entered the beautiful garden of Pembroke Lodge. It’s a beautiful Georgian mansion where you can have high tea and admire the views.
That’s Ham House in the distance.
I can’t wait to see the garden transforming throughout the year, so far we have some early spring flowers and some hellebores (which are on my front garden list).
Silly how close we live to Richmond Park and how few times we’ve been in it. But I think a cycle to Pembroke Lodge is now in order once the weather has warmed up (though that hill does look a bit daunting!).
