The Richmond Way begins at Lancaster Castle and is a 60 mile walk through the stunning scenery of Lune Valley, the moors and fells of the central Pennines and the Yorkshire Dales, ending at the stunning North Yorkshire town of Richmond in Swaledale.

With 2,500 acres of open parkland, ancient oak trees and lakes, Richmond Park is the wildest of all the Royal Parks.

From King Henry’s Mound, a Bronze Age barrow and Scheduled Ancient Monument, you can see 12 miles across London to St Paul’s Cathedral – one of London’s 13 protected views. along the Lower Lune Valley, Ribblesdale, Wensleydale and Swaledale via Hornby, Ingleton, Ribblehead Viaduct, limestone country, Bainbridge, Askrigg, Castle Bolton and Grinton However, when it comes to Ted’s story, as well as this team’s this finale really felt like the end, maybe not of the book, possibly just a chapter, but an end nonetheless. At Ingleton, renowned for its glens and waterfalls, the Richmond Way enters an upland landscape dominated by limestone. The route crosses Scales Moor en route to the head of Ribblesdale where it passes beneath the famous Ribblehead Viaduct. Just beyond Ribblehead, the Richmond Way adopts an old Roman Road which it follows to Wether Fell via Cam End and Dodd Fell Hill. The route reaches 590 metres (1935ft) at its highest point and for 10 exhilarating miles sustains a height above 305 metres (1000ft).

Richmond Park Golf Course must be one of the most beautiful places to play a round of golf in London – and it’s the only golf course in a Royal Park. There are two 18-hole courses, a 16-bay driving range, and an eco-friendly clubhouse with panoramic floor to ceiling windows. So, when you’ve sunk the winning putt, you can sink a drink looking out over the parkland. Ready to play? Book a pay-and-play round through Richmond Park Golf Club here.

Many of the 25 permanent ponds and wetlands lie hidden in the landscape, and you can find one without realising it existed. The best known are Pen Ponds, a haven for terns and gulls. You may see sand martins using the nesting bank, or hear reed warblers sing. Grey herons are often seen stalking fish, motionless at the water’s edge. Kingfishers are less easily-spotted, streaking over Pen Ponds or the Beverly Brook in a flash of orange and blue. The deer of Richmond Park As all of the folks behind the show have said, Ted Lasso was designed for three seasons. Admittedly, the third was a bit bloated on run times, and suffering from weak subplots (Zava and Jade, thank you for your service, but you deserved better). Richmond Park is famed for its wide-open spaces, flourishing biodiversity and – of course – the famous herds of deer. The wildlife of Richmond Park. A world away from the ordinary.

Because of the sheer variety and abundance of wildlife, you can return to Richmond Park over and over again – and still see or hear something new. A tree creeper climbing up or a nuthatch, climbing down a tree in search of insects. Skylarks and kestrels hovering above open grasslands, and little owls and tawny owls calling at twilight. And in the meadows and Isabella Plantation, you’ll see butterflies such as comma, Essex skippers and small coppers, or purple hairstreak butterflies high up in the oak trees.

Feel free to bring your own food and drink to enjoy in the park but barbecues and any sort of fire lighting is absolutely forbidden.

People are a little sad, but that’s OK. This is the story of a man who made the club what it is: caring and emotionally in touch with each other. They almost won the title, just as Ted promised they would in the season 1 finale . But at least Ted Lasso can rest easy knowing it made its characters into better people who are able to talk about their feelings. Unfortunately, that “growth” came entirely at the cost of the show’s quality. With Richmond Park, it’s hard not to talk numbers. Because of its size and diverse mix of habitats, Richmond Park is a key sanctuary for 144 species of birds, 29 species of butterflies and 11 species of bats – many of them rare. The park was made a Special Area of Conservation given the number of globally endangered stag beetles found here. Nature's architects Pembroke Lodge is a magnificent, Grade II listed Georgian mansion. Built in 1754, it was originally a four room cottage for the park’s resident mole catcher. Queen Victoria gifted it to her then Prime Minister, Lord John Russell, and his grandson, the celebrated philosopher and mathematician, Bertrand Russell, spent his childhood here. The 630 strong herd of wild red and fallow deer roam freely amongst the oaks and grasslands of the park. Introduced by Charles 1 in 1637, the deer are an iconic sight in the park. Their grazing has played a huge role in shaping the landscape and maintaining the habitats. Deer may look gentle, but can be unpredictable if disturbed, so please help us to keep our wildlife wild by not feeding them, and keep at least 50m away at all times. Birds, butterflies and bats in Richmond Park While this episode felt like a definitive end, meaning I would feel satisfied if there was no more Ted Lasso after this, there were moments regarding AFC Richmond’s next chapter that gave us a glimpse into the future, and showed us the plans moving forward. Will we the viewers get to see these new developments flourish? I’m not sure, but either way, we know what will likely happen next.
