Richmond Park is a top UK site for ancient trees, particularly oaks, which have great historic and wildlife importance.  


Highlights include the Isabella Plantation, a stunning woodland garden which was created after World War II from an existing woodland, and is organically run, resulting in a rich flora and fauna.

Queen Mother's Copse is a small triangular enclosure on the woodland hill halfway between Robin Hood Gate and Ham Gate, established in memory of the late Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother.

Bone Copse was started by the Bone family in 1988 by purchasing and planting a tree from the Park authorities in memory of Bessie Bone who died in that year. Trees have been added annually, and in 1994 her husband Frederick Bone also died. The annual planting has been continued by their children.

Other places of interest include Two Storms Wood (near Sheen Gate) and the stunning flowers of the Isabella Plantation and the gardens at Pembroke Lodge.
