Petworth Deer Park is a stunning country parkland that boasts ancient oak trees, scenic ponds, stunning architecture and, of course, a magnificent herd of fallow deer that has roamed the land for half a century. Hailed as one of the finest surviving and unspoilt examples of an English landscape, the parkland was designed by Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown in the 18th century.

Gorgeous old parkland with a large herd of deer free roaming. An ideal picnic spot.

A host of trails, we circumnavigated the outer boundary of the park, starting from Petworth House. The South West corner had some boggy areas, but this September , nearly all of the park was dry underfoot
