Dog Days AwayGOOD DAYS. TOGETHER.Greater London · England · Town
Richmond offers a Thames-side break with a park option that needs care around deer. Start with a modest riverside walk and decide on Richmond Park only after checking the season and current notices. Richmond Hill Hotel provides an uphill base, while the Orange Tree is on Kew Road near the station. Neither location means pet admission to every nearby garden: this plan keeps to confirmed river and park options.

GOOD DAYS OUT, TOGETHER
Take a short Thames-side outing from Richmond, turning back when it suits your dog. This is a useful alternative to deer-park walking and does not depend on completing a long route towards Twickenham.
Keep dogs close near water, cyclists and other walkers. Check local path conditions and use a lead where needed.
Official visitor information ↗Use the park only when you can keep a safe distance from deer and comply with current notices. In the autumn rut, consider choosing the river instead if your dog is likely to bark or chase.
Leads mandatory throughout from 1 May to 31 July and in signed skylark zones year-round. Keep at least 50m from deer and 100m from active rutting males; follow current Royal Parks guidance.
Official visitor information ↗AN UNHURRIED COUPLE OF DAYS
Confirm your dog room, charge and meal space, then enjoy a modest river walk. Allow for the uphill return if staying at Richmond Hill Hotel.
Read the current deer and dog notices before choosing Richmond Park. Keep the riverside as a complete alternative, especially during the rut or when your dog struggles around wildlife.
A suggested plan, not a booked itinerary. Adapt it to your dog, the weather and current access.

No. Seasonal leads, protected areas and deer mean restrictions apply; follow the current Royal Parks guidance.
No. Its hilltop address is a different base from the Orange Tree on Kew Road near the station.
