Bolderwood Deer Sanctuary - without any deer Bolderwood Deer Sanctuary in the New Forest was notably free of any signs of Cervidae on our visit. Perhaps we were just unlucky. 
The main 'viewing area' is a field with a viewing platform nearer to the road than the wood-fringed field seen in this photo.
The species which may be seen here are:
Red Deer (Cervus elaphus)
Roe Deer (Capreolus capreolus)
Fallow Deer (Dama dama)
Sika (Cervus nippon)
and occasionally Muntjac (Muntiacus reevesi)
