Petersham Meadows

Petersham Meadows, located in Richmond-upon-Thames, has a rich history dating back to the early 17th Century when it formed part of the estate linked to Ham House. Over the years, public interest in preserving its pastoral charm has led to the establishment of protective measures, including a successful campaign in the early 20th Century that safeguarded the view from Richmond Hill.

Managed by the Petersham Environment Trust since 2001, the Meadows remain a rare example of smallholding in London, supporting a beef herd and contributing to the area's agricultural heritage. The Trust is committed to ensuring the continued presence of cattle grazing in this tranquil environment, which is cherished by both residents and visitors alike.
