Our deer herd

Llantrithyd deer graze and browse all year round in our historic seventeenth century Deer Park which was created by the Aubrey family around 1645.

Since then deer have grazed here more or less continuously up until the 1900s. Our current Red and Fallow stock were re-introduced into the Park in 1990 and now enjoy clover-rich pastures, lightly wooded valleys and bracken covered slopes - truly a deer's paradise.

In winter their diet is supplemented with silage which is made in the Park without additives or artificial fertilisers. The Park and closed herd have full organic certification through the Organic Food Federation UK4.

Llantrithyd deer live their entire life in the Park. They are humanely culled in the Park and are not transported elsewhere for slaughter. This guarantees minimum stress for the deer and total traceability for our customers.
