Free to visit and explore, well maintained and signs of further improvement.Didn't see any deer, lots of sheep and lots of poo. It was like a working farm around, some of the pathways were impossible to navigate without excrement laden shoes. Wear washable footwear.The walks around and river were lovely. Highly recommended.

A 10 minute walk from Auckland Tower in Bishop Auckland. Built in the mid 18th century to provide shelter for the deer around the castle. Beautiful gothic structure and shows the wealth of the bishops of that time. Well worth a visit if you're in the area, also it's free.

Fabulous open space so close to the heart of Bishop Auckland in Co Durham. The site is open daily with free entry but managed by English Heritage. The deer park stand close to the magnificent Auckland castle

The deer shelter in Auckland Castle deer park, was built about 1760 for Bishop Richard Trevor. It is a listed building and a scheduled monument, looked after by English Heritage. It is in the form of a mock castle that 'forms a dramatic Gothic eyecatcher within the post-medieval landscaped park' [schedule description]. Free to visit, it is closed off inside, but still worthwhile viewing from its perimeter. & looking inside through the fences.
