deer park
Enclosed hunting grounds
A deer park is an enclosed area of land where deer are kept, typically for ornamental purposes, hunting, or conservation.
These parks originated as aristocratic preserves in medieval Europe, where nobility maintained herds for sport hunting and as symbols of wealth.
Many historic estates still feature deer parks as landscaped grounds.
The manor house overlooks a deer park where fallow deer have grazed for centuries.
