Wollaton Hall, Gardens and Deer Park

Rara2go
500 acres of parkland nearby the city centre of Nottingham. The grounds house a Grade I listed Elizabethan mansion and gardens. It’s free to enter the hall with no ticket needed to view the collections of wildlife. The gardens and grounds of the park and lake are a beautiful walk. Current pictures taken in Autumn don’t do the colours justice. Autumn is also rutting season so visitors should give the deer their space. The deer are all wild and there are 2 herds, of red deer and fallow. Many locals also use the park for walking their dogs and dogs are to be kept on leash. There is a great children’s playground and coffee shop down at the bottom car park and also a nice little cafe/restaurant up by the hall. Plus steam museum. There are ducks and swans on the lake. Check online for the opening times as they change through the year when the gates are closed at dusk. There are also different events throughout the year such as Christmas lights, concerts, movie nights etc…
