PETWORTH PARK DEER RUT WALK
Date – Tuesday 29th October , starting at 10.30 Time: approx two hours – depending on whether the deer are where they meant to be! Please NO dogs, even on a lead.
As well as following and seeing the deer in action and learning all about the rut we will learn out the history of that peculiarly English institution of the deer park, the development and history of Petworth Park as a deer park, the characteristics and types of fallow deer in the Park, the life cycle of the deer, and how the deer are managed.
