In Charles I had a tributary of the River Colne diverted through Bushy Park to make the Longford River and during the Commonwealth period water from the southern part of the river was redirected to feed the new Heron and Leg of Mutton Ponds. There are scattered clumps of trees, small plantations, and areas of grassland. Much of the bracken in the park is concentrated in this area and provides cover for the deer. Three main paths cut across the area. A path from south of the Diana Fountain runs east along the north boundary of a children's playground, the C18 Royal Paddocks, and the south boundary of the Cricket Ground before terminating in front of Church Grove Gate.
A second path leads north-east, with the Oval Plantation to the east, passing between the Heron and Leg-of-Mutton Ponds before linking up with the third path, Cobbler's Walk, which runs 2. Cobbler's Walk got its name after an incident in c when the second Earl of Halifax closed a public right of way which ran through the park from Hampton Wick to Kingston.
When threatened with court action by a local cobbler the Earl reopened the path which has since been known as Cobbler's Walk. The larger part of the park which lies to the west of the Chestnut Avenue is divided by a number of features.
The second Earl Halifax created elaborate water gardens in the grounds of Upper Lodge. Water was taken from the Longford River through a series of pools and canals to the east, west, and south of the house Rocque Only part of this feature survives today two pools in the grounds of Upper Lodge and the water in Canal Plantation. The water gardens and Upper Lodge were vacated by the Ministry of Defence in the late C20 and are now managed by a Trust who have plans to restore the water features.
Paths from the four gates to the north-west of the site converge, across parkland, on the north-east corner of Upper Lodge. The acre c 41ha farm at the Stockyard to the south-west of Bushy Park was in recent times used as the maintenance depot for the park and is now the Bushy Park Environment Centre. The Centre, in conjunction with the Holly Lodge Centre at Richmond Park qv , aims to provide a facility from which open-air activities of all kinds can be enjoyed.
The area contains a number of mostly Victorian farm buildings, paddocks, and White Lodge listed grade II.
