She made it really interesting.There are also a couple of cafes there and a restaurant plus a shop which is quite good but a bit pricey. Also some nice plants for sale.
I think it's about £12 for adults but you can revisit any time within the following seven days.

Also saw the pets corner bit where they have lots of chickens, geese and some donkeys; some rodents and a couple of pigs ... oh and some lovely goats. Great for the children to see and some of the animals can be touched.

Re: Deer Park
Hundreds of deer where I often walk at Petworth House. This photo caused a big argument when I posted it on another forum, with some know alls insisting it had been photoshopped because a rear leg appeared to be missing. Trust me folks he was equipped with all four legs.

Ha ha, it does look that way but closer inspection shows the leg behind. He's a beauty.
Most assuredly he is, but its not his legs one needs to worry about, since Venison steaks don't come there but the sides and this one looks in peak form - venison steaks 'on the hoof'!!!

Thank you.
As would I!
If I were to guess where the other leg is I’d be checking Uncles Joes BBQ grill.
