My son’s dog Tilly is a big dog, so needs to be taken for long walks and runs every day. On this particular day we went to Bushy Park. The entrance to the part of the park we were going to was accessed by a nice walk down a path, with a lovely stream alongside for part of the way.

Bushy Park, located near Hampton Court Palace, has loads of grassy areas, which are great for a dog to run around in. My son lives close to the park so it is very convenient and dogs are allowed.

One of the amazing sights of the day was the deer. They just wandered freely around the park with no fear of people or the dogs! I managed to get some super photos, some really close up too!

There are many parks in London and Bushy Park is the second largest of London’s Royal Parks. It is very popular with visitors and especially those walking their dogs.

There are numerous activities and attractions in the park, the Diana Fountain, the Upper Lodge Water Gardens and the Bushy Park playground. The opening times are 6.30 to 7.45 and there is a café, so it makes a good day out for all the family at weekends or school holidays.
