Tatton Park

We drove further north from Belvoir Castle up to near Knutsford to stay with a friend.  We had a great afternoon walking around Tatton Park.

A fallen, but not dead, tree: that "tree" in the centre foreground is actually a side branch growing from the downed trunk.

There are both Red and Fallow deer in the park; we saw both.  I learned that the males and females are called by different terms depending on the species: Red deer are called stags and hinds, whereas Fallow/Roe deer are called bucks and does. ("Doe, a deer, a female [fallow] deer.")

We were careful not to get close enough to disturb the deer as we walked around: we kept further away than the recommended 50m distance.
