Cycling in Richmond Park

From Ferne Arfin, About.com

Richmond Park's highest hills offer uninterrupted views across London - as far as St. Paul's Cathedral, 12 miles away, on a clear day.

Cyclists can use the seven-mile-long paved road as well as a hard surfaced cycle path within the park. They aren't permitted to cycle through the woodlands or the muddy trails.

Visitors who fancy a bit of cycling can rent a bicycle, between April and September, in the car park near Roehampton Gate. For information and to book a cycle, ring +44 (0)7050 209 249 or +44 (0)20 7581 1188.
