Why it's Wildland
5.0Dukes Meadows Trust says it began regenerating the meadows in 2000, raising funds for play areas and planting hedgerows, wildflower meadows and an orchard. Today, the park brings together open green space, riverside walking and community-led improvements beside the Thames.
This is a green riverside escape within London rather than a remote wild landscape. Its appeal lies in the mix of Thames views, planted meadows and a community-created orchard, with a short, step-free scavenger-hunt walk offering a more engaging way to explore.
