Originally used as a royal hunting wood (hence the name), King's Wood is now much better used for hunting unique art pieces along its sculpture trail. However, If you do have a keen eye and a quiet step, you may still have a chance to see its last remaining herd of fallow deer. Rest assured they are safe from hunters nowadays.
