Loton Park is rich in natural habitat for wild fowl, flora and fauna, which is highly regarded by experts.

Deer Park

The Loton Estate includes one of the few remaining large fallow and black deer herds in Shropshire. It covers approximately 300 acres.

Black Fallow Deer

The Fallow Deer was spread across central Europe by the Romans. Until recently it was thought that the Normans introduced them to Great Britain and to Ireland for hunting in the royal forests.

All fallow deer have a very long tail which is constantly flicked about and is raised in alarm.
