		Richmond Park is one of the largest deer parks in the country, where largely unrestricted public access is taken for granted by millions of people every year.
		Richmond Park is one of a number of Royal Parks in and around London and is not alone in having free roaming deer as Hampton Court, Bushy and Greenwich Parks also have park herds, but it is the largest at 2,500 acres.
		But Richmond Park is run for the benefit of the millions of people who use it each year, so it is inevitable that the manner in which the deer are managed is dictated to by the primary aim of the Royal Parks Agency, providing for the public.

		Richmond Park is the largest Royal Park in London, covering an area of 2,500 acres.
		Richmond Park was established in its present form by Charles I, who in 1625 brought his court to Richmond Palace to escape the plague in London and turned the area on the hill above Richmond into a hunting park for red and fallow deer.
		The Park has changed little over the centuries and, although it is surrounded by human habitation, the varied landscape of hills, woodland gardens and grasslands set among ancient trees abounds in wild life.
