Deer Park
Attingham’s last lord Thomas was particularly fond of the deer and fed them daily, with special favourites eating from his hand. Visitors can walk through the park today and see around 180 semi-wild deer, all direct descendents of the fallow deer there at the creation of our Deer Park in 1797.
