Red and Fallow Deer

The picturesque Deer Park is home to majestic Red Deer – The UK’s Largest land mammal – and the more delicate Fallow Deer. Both herds are descendants of the original animals from Norman times and can be seen in close proximity at this time of year as the Park Rangers are supplementary feeding these incredible animals through the colder months.

Snowdrops

Dainty Snowdrops are beginning to appear in the Walled Garden and Deer Park. As one of the earliest flowers to bloom they are a welcome reminder that spring is just around the corner.

Birds of Prey

Look out for our resident Barn Owls, Kestrals, Sparrowhawks, Buzzards and many more spectacular birds of prey who can often be spotted soaring above the vast parkland.

The Temple

This gothic structure was built in the late 18th Century for the First Earl of Darlington. Throughout the years this building has been known as the Summerhouse, the Folly and the Belverde. Today, this beautiful building is the perfect nook that offers breath-taking views of the parkland and is one of our favourite spots to sit and watch the world go by.

Bath House

The Bath House is a stunning building which can be viewed from the path on the West side of the park. Trips from the castle to the Bath House were a popular historic pastime – though the spring water was so cold very few actually took a dip.
