About the event
If you fancy an easy day out with a bunch of lovely people not too far from London this is a trip for you.
With a 30 minutes train journey we will not spend ages on the train to reach our destination thus allowing us to leave later and have a late sleep in on a Sunday morning
There will be a lot of deer and two castles on our way, woodlands and beautiful countryside.
We will begin and finish our hike at Knole house, a 15th Century Palace that was once home to the archbishop of Canterbury, the fifth largest house in the UK will be a beautiful addition to our hike.
This trip will coincide with the beginning of the rutting season for the deer which is one of mother nature's more impressive shows, we might be lucky enough to witness fights between the males. The dominant will be the only one to approach the females and will be the only father of next year's offsprings.
The deer in Knole Park are mainly two species, the fallow deer and sika deer, this latest one is originally from Asia and has been introduced in the UK a couple of centuries ago.
We will have to keep a safe distance from the herds as their hormones level explodes during the season and they will certainly show you when you are too close.
