点评:There is a Free car on the left hand side just pat the small roundabout after you enter Richmond Park through Kingston Gate
This walk starts from Kingston Gate highlights English oak, beech and nine other tree species, many of them veterans, in a magnificent short walk. There are some wonderful veterans amongst them. On your outward leg, Gallows Pond was dug in 1861 to drain the surrounding land and to provide water for the deer – the gallows were just outside the Park. The pond has a water- loving willow on the other side. Above the pond and to the right of the path is the unusual sight of 100 sugar maples from Canada. Not only do these trees supply maple syrup but also their leaves appear on the Canadian flag. There are some substantial mature trees as you walk up the slope, chiefly English oak and beech . One old oak on the right has lost most of its trunk still alive with leaves on the remaining branches – opposite two much larger ancient oaks probably over 500 years old. Trees like this support a remarkable ecosystem with many hundreds of species, especially wood-eating beetles and other invertebrates and also birds, bats, fungi, liverworts. On the way up the slope you might spot some hawthorns, mainly on the left. By Thatched House Lodge, once you turn the corner, you will see a group of seven beech and another group of nine oak on the left, set in the grassland before a solitary white beam. The wood on the right of the path contains a black dark locust tree amongst many oaks and beech. Before you go down the hill, you’ll find King’s Clump which was created in 1901 with Scots and black pine planted as landscape trees on top of an old burial mound.

这条步行道从金斯顿门开始,沿途可以欣赏到英国橡树、山毛榉和其他九种树种,其中许多都是老树。其中不乏一些优秀的老树。在外段,绞刑架池塘于 1861 年开挖,用于排干周围土地并为鹿提供水源 - 绞刑架就在公园外。池塘另一边有一棵喜水的柳树。池塘上方和小径右侧是 100 棵来自加拿大的糖枫树,景色不同寻常。这些树不仅提供枫糖浆,而且它们的叶子还出现在加拿大国旗上。沿着斜坡向上走,可以看到一些高大的成熟树木,主要是英国橡树和山毛榉。右边的一棵老橡树已经失去了大部分树干,剩下的树枝上还长着叶子 - 对面是两棵更大的古老橡树,可能有 500 多年的历史。像这样的树木支撑着一个非凡的生态系统,拥有数百种物种,尤其是食木甲虫和其他无脊椎动物,还有鸟类、蝙蝠、真菌、苔类植物。在上坡的路上,您可能会看到一些山楂树,主要在左侧。在 Thatched House Lodge 附近,一旦您转弯,您就会看到一组七棵山毛榉和另一组九棵橡树在左边,它们坐落在草地上,前面是一根孤独的白色横梁。小路右侧的树林里有一棵黑色的刺槐树,周围有许多橡树和山毛榉。下山之前,您会发现 King’s Clump,它建于 1901 年,在一个古老的墓冢顶部种植了苏格兰松和黑松作为景观树。
