Covering 74 hectares (183 acres), Greenwich is the oldest Royal Park and home to a small herd of Fallow and Red deer. Situated on top of a hill, visitors enjoy sweeping views across the River Thames to St Paul's Cathedral and beyond. The park is part of the Greenwich World Heritage Site, host to the Prime Meridian Line and the old Royal Observatory, as well as having the National Maritime Museum as a neighbour.

 

About the Park

Why not visit the Park to see some of the wildlife? There is a large grassland enclosure, covering almost 13 acres which serves as a sanctuary for deer, foxes and birds.
