Fawns are being spotted around the parkland. Just a reminder to keep plenty of distance while they're young. It’s normal for fawns to be left unattended in the grass and essential not to disturb them as any human scent around a fawn could encourage the mother to abandon it. 🦌🦌

Next Thursday and the one after (24 & 31 July) we’ve got guided walks led by specialist volunteers as part of ArchaeologyUK's Festival of Archaeology. The walks will take you back in time through the parkland. The walks are free of charge but please book: bit.ly/4lChCzJ

Gardener Mark got some brilliant pictures of the parterre and garden as he worked up high on the hedges using the Mobile Elevating Work Platform or MEWP. 📷 Mark C
