Tatton Park

Knutsford sits on the edge of Tatton Park. A lot of TV drama has been shot in and around the 1791 mansion- including Granada's The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and the BBC's Casanova.

Again, these are super photos. I love the look of the water! What is the name of the kind of animal in the last photo? Are those a form of deer?

Thanks.

According to the website, Tatton Park has two kinds of deer- red deer and fallow deer. I'm not certain, but I think this is a red deer hind.

Thank you! I Googled them both and I think you are right. I like the look of them. Were you that close?

The deer were very tame and allowed me to get almost within touching distance.

I'd guess there were about fifteen of them, drifting in a herd across the park.
