There are also deer in Greenwich Park. I've never been to Shooters' Hill but it is supposed to have a good view over the city. There is a nature preserve in Forest Hill - it may be the Devonshire Hill nature preserve - which has lots of trees and feels quite untouched and natural. I would also recommend the wetlands centre in Barnes for seeing a lot of waterfowl. |

Richmond Park is fantastic, the deer all running around not giving a jot about the people there.... |

Check out Brockwell Park - nr Brixton tube for great views across London
Holland Park for trees
Clapham Common for wide open space
Hampstead Heath for Hills, woods, natural beauty
Hilly fields, nr Lewisham
Greenwich Park
Have a look on the A-Z, despite its size, London is one of the greenest cities on the planet. |

Epping Forest starts at Wansted and goes all the way up to Epping. Chingford is the best place to go to if you are going by public transport
Alexandra Palace and Park for views over London |

Hampstead Heath, Richmond, Kingston, Greenwich.
Tonnes more places in a 2 hour driving radius of London eg Sevenoaks, around Portsmouth, Guildford, white cliffs at Dover.
Check out the National Trust website as they look after lots of places of natural beauty (I think they call it 'coast and countryside') - www.nationaltrust.org.uk. |

Hampstead Heath is the best close to central London (just north of centre). Or join a walking group like CLOG (www.clogweb.org.uk) |

I would hardly know where to start as we have so many parks, gardens and places of natural beauty in London. I would buy a good guidebook or have a look online so that you can find suitable places close to where you are staying. |

Even Hyde Park, right in the center of the city, is beautiful. |

Also worth checking out just outside London is Windsor Great Park. It's many attractions include: Valley Gardens, wonderfully landscaped and planted to give interest in every season, a genuine Roman temple which was imported and set up by the side of Virginia Water, good open country lanes providing enough space to really stretch your legs and many follies and surprising features tucked away around every corner.
If you have a car, there's plenty of parking at the Bishops Gate entrance, or else you can get a taxi up there from Egham. You can do a good circular walk from here down to the south of the park via the open lanes to the Virginia Water entrance (Wheatsheaf pub just outside the entrance for a break) and back up through the Valley Gardens and over the polo field, ending up back at the Fox and Hounds pub (just outside Bishops Gate entrance) for an excellent dinner.
If you want a longer walk, you can extend this up the Long Walk up to Windsor and the castle itself. |

Are you sure you want to explore that part of London when there's the Yorkshire Dales, also in England? |
