2. Isabella Plantation

Reviewed By TalDarkLeanMean - Staines, United Kingdom
Disappointingly there was no Lady Isabella Gardner who started planting exotic flowers here on her return from even more exotic locations. The name Isabel simply means grey, yellow soil of this enclosed area because this is how this boggy, soggy area looked like few centuries ago. But now it's definitely a Bella as Italian would say. This little park within a park has a biodiversity of mini botanical garden. Other than the local trademark ancient oak trees, bluebell, daffodils flowers, there are chestnut, strawberry trees, fungi, many species of butterflies ???? moths and other little animals that come out only at night. And with a free entry for everyone, this is as good as it can get.
3. Waterlily House

Reviewed By NicolaD914 - Kingston-upon-Hull, United Kingdom
This is a quite small glasshouse by comparison to the others a Kew but still well worth the visit. As the name suggests it houses a large central pond with a path circling it. It is full of fantastic waterlilies, ferns and other associated flora and fauna. The display is enhanced at present by another of the amazing Dale Chihuly glass installations so deserves a visit. Simply stunning!

Whether a chilled leisurely SUP Tour or a full body cardiovascular SUP workout, the benefits of being active outdoors on the water, at one with Mother Nature are great.

The Old Deer Park is NOT THE SAME as Richmond Park!! The fact that Richmond Park has deer in it doesn't make it Old Deer Park which is next to Kew Gardens!
