The Deer Rut Experience

Departure from: Main Entrance Newtown Linford Car Park. 
Postcode LE6 0HB.
Duration – approx. 2 hours.

Nearly eight centuries ago Bradgate Park was enclosed as a deer and hunting park.  Today it is still home to herds of Red and Fallow Deer.

Walks will be held during the rut bringing you close to master stags and bucks. The walks are over surfaced tracks and grass. They include rough terrain which is unsuitable for people in wheelchairs. If you are planning a group visit, please enquire with the Estate Office to ensure we can accommodate you.

No dogs please

This walk will involve walking over uneven and potentially weather affected ground, it will take place irrespective of weather conditions. Appropriate clothing and footwear are therefore recommended.

Please be aware, we have volunteer photographers who may record events on behalf of the Park, the images may be used for Park Archives and for future marketing purposes for example via our website and social media.
