Family looking through telescope on King Henry VIII Mound, Pembroke Lodge, in Richmond Park, Surrey. UK. King Henry VIII’s Mound is reputedly a Bronze Age barrow, much altered. It provides magnificent views across the Thames to Twickenham and the North Downs to the west. To the east, a keyhole view of St Paul’s Cathedral is obtained through an artificially maintained gap in the trees covering the mound, which is aligned with a gap in the trees in Richmond Park beyond.
