I want to visit a park or some sort to do my photography. If anyone knows any deer parks or parks which include wildlife which I can do photography. I want it to be basically gaurenteed success in seeing the wildlife. If it could be in 2 hour radius of Shropshire.
Thanks Tom

Hi, several National Trust places have Deer Parks, though most at distance. Calke Park/Abbey Derbyshire, Charlcotte Park (Warwick) & Attingham Park Shrewsbury are 3 I can think of. Have a google for wildparks in Shropshire, you may find a Birds of Prey Center. Saying that I think there`s one by Leominster?
Good luck & looking forward to seeing the results

Try Attingham Park Attingham Park - Visitor information - National Trust. I think you mentioned being from Shropshire in a previous post so this might be near you?

The Chestnut Centre may be within your range it is at Chapel-en-le-frith in the High Peak Chestnut Centre Conservation & Wildlife Park.
Recommend to me by a friend after I put some pics of deer at Chatsworth House on facebook and also to my wife by one of her workmates as a good place to take the kids
Going to try to go on Saturday if the weather is OK.
