This 45 minute round trip takes you into the deer park and enables you to hand feed a spectacular herd of over 50 hinds plus the awesome stags. You will receive live commentary throughout and enjoy the parks rich and amazing wildlife plus learn about the crops grown as you go. If you are lucky you might see the deer swim across the lake. During deer calving months of May, June and July you will be able to see beautiful spotted calves. During the summer the stags grow their new antlers ready for the rutting season towards the end of September.
There are over 400 ewes which will lamb during February, March and April. Visitors during this time, will be able to watch 'live lambing' inside our barns.
Activities include bottle feeding our lambs (March - October), collecting and grading freshly laid eggs, pony grooming, friendly goats to feed, watching our young calves being fed, rabbit groominh and guinea pig cuddling. There are also pony rides during the school holidays for children.
