Lots of deer in New Forest in Hampshire[& in my back garden]

Hatfield forest on the herts-essex borders, near Bishopstortford is a great place to observe deer. The estate is only about 90 acres with some quite remote areas where you can see many types of deer in the early morning, watch out for them on the local roads too..

There are lots of Mutjac deer in Thetford Forest and other areas of Norfolk. Sadly, they are often to be seen by the side of the roads locally, having been struck by passing cars.

That should have been Muntjac !!

There was one along our street one time in the suburbs of Newcastle. My sister saw it on her weekend morning paper round. It must have been a good mile from the nearest woodland. Then the police turned up and pulled over. My sister says,' you're looking for a deer, right? '
Police, 'Certainly are.'
'Yeah, it's just up the street there.'
Mainly they live in woods near the race course, which is about three mile from out place, although there's a bridal path which goes most of the way there.
Have also seen deer in the lake district.

Lots of wild deer roam on the North Antrim coast, in Northern Ireland, particularly in the area of Murlough Bay (near Ballycastle).
