Being from London I was very excited to see lots of does and stags roaming free. Definitely a selling point! The park was very pretty too with a stream running through it.

Delighted that you had great time. Kip has excellent knowledge of the Park and there is so much to see which is hidden from the main public areas. We look forward to seeing you again soon on another event.

Came here for the day the park is very nice and you can walk up to the top of the hill to see the lovely views ahead of you. The cafe was quite expensive and i thought it was over priced.
