The entrance to the Deer Park takes you through an ornate stone gatehouse. Stone icehouses from the hey-day of Studley Royal House can still be seen in the Deer Park and avenues of ancient oak trees line the entrance and exit route. Situated within the Deer Park are St Mary’s Church and Chorister’s House. 

 

The Deer Park is home to 500 wild deer. Three breeds of deer live in the Deer Park: Red, Fallow and Sika. The rutting season can last between September and November.

 

The Deer Park is a lovely place for a walk, but make sure you stay on the roads because the deer are wild and if you visit during the rutting season you may come into contact with some defensive stags. Keep dogs on leads and keep a safe distance.
