LOCAL ATTRACTIONS
There is plenty to do at Deer Park, but for those staying for a little longer or looking for new adventures, there are lots of things to do in the local area. The list below have all been recommended by volunteers from the county.
alpaca walkThe alpacas are a firm favourite with our members, young and not so young! You may be lucky enough to spot them if you take a walk in the village but for the full experience, we highly recommend you book a visit to their farm.
