Belton's parkland has been home to a herd of fallow deer for over 300 years. Discover how the ranger team manage the herd, and join them for a guided walk through the park during the rutting season. Belton's herd of fallow deer have spent the long, hot summer looking after their fawns and growing some impressive sets of antlers. Autumn is show-time for the master bucks, who will be setting up rutting stands in favourite spots and trying to attract as many does as possible. Join the Ranger Team on this guided walk through the parkland and discover how they care for the herd, while keeping an eye out for any signs of the autumn rut. Don't forget to bring your camera! Due to the nature of this walk, we ask that there are no dogs as we will enter the deer sanctuary.
