The deer in Bushy Park

Bushy Park is famed for its mix of waterways, gardens and grassland, and roaming herds of red and fallow deer

Bushy Park is a deer park. Red and Fallow Deer still roam freely throughout the park, just as they did when Henry VIII used to hunt here.

There are currently about 320 deer and their grazing is essential to maintain the high wildlife value of the park's grasslands
