Deer Rut Walk at Belton

Discover how the Rangers Team at Belton House manage the deer herd and join them on a guided walk through the park during rutting season.

Belton Park has been home to a wild herd of fallow deer for over 300 years, and this year you are invited to join the Rangers Team on an incredible experience on a Deer Rut Walk.

The herd of fallow deer have spent the long, hot summer looking after their fawns and growing some impressive sets of antlers. Autumn is show-time for the master bucks, who will set up rutting stands in favourite spots and try and attract as many does as possible.
