I'll be there next Friday with my wife's brothers and sisters for a walk around with the dogs.
@Cranborne PM me if you want some info on parking and facilities either in the grounds if paying and visiting the house or local alternatives to park up just outside, cafe & pubs etc.
Fountains Abbey/Studley Royal would be my recommendation. We live nearby and visit regularly. Studley Royal is the deer park and Fountains Abbey historic Abbey and gardens.
You don’t need to travel to see fallow!

Studley royal is about 45 minutes from Helmsley, they have a mixed herd of fallow and reds over 400 there
Fallow deer round duncombe park on your door step and around Sutton bank.
Duncombe Park has much sporting history, including a most famous head keeper, who was ex sniper, naturalist and taxidermist, rediscovered a long lost bat and had a disease he identified in grayling named after him. Enjoy

What kind of bat was it?
The lesser horseshoe bat thought to be extinct also first to record the barbastelle in yorkshire both found in the dungeons of the park. His bat collection presented to yorkshire museum in 1976, the mans name was Adam gorden, shot by two men, one a fellow sniper (German) other his boss lord feversham
Oh to have spent time with him or be one of his once ten under keepers.

Seems odd that the Lesser Horseshoe Bat would have been “thought to be extinct” when it’s current range is right across Europe from Ireland to Asia.The lesser horseshoe bat thought to be extinct also first to record the barbastelle in yorkshire both found in the dungeons of the park.

Thought to be at one point extinct in uk apparently so my bad, have no exact time line on the recorded finding by Adam gorden but retired early sixties and worked for lord feversham for many many years and came from Windsor to yorkshire in 1911. Also an expert on deer and served the duke of Portland at welbeck, served as sniper ww1 and awarded the mm and dcm and bar whatever that means, but I suspect brave.
Died in 1982 aged ninety six, discovered a parasite which used brown trout and salmon as a host and was named after him salmincola gordini.
Many things seem odd to some at times.

So, “thought to be locally extirpated” then…
