Knole House Deer Park

Admiring the large, skittish herds of Fallow deer roaming the grounds of Knole House in Kent, I was surprised not to see a stag or two around the place. Leaving the paths and tramping through the bracken we entered a dark wood. There, lying peacefully and almost invisibly in the centre - far from the madding crowd - was the stag. Unfortunately the light was too dim to take sharp photos without flash. I kept creeping closer until he eventually stirred himself and walked away in disgust. I also came across some huge mushrooms/toadstools, bracket fungus and wonderful tree bark textures in the grounds. Click here to have a look.
