Rough Bridge, Studley Park

Made to look older than it is, Rough Bridge is another one of Aisaby's follies. It crosses the top of "the Dale", but leads no-where.

Red deer stag, Studley Park

Mature adult stag with 14 or 16 points, which should make him a 'royal'.

Sika deer stag, Studley Park

Studley park is well populated with deer, though the sikas are often overlooked. There are about 60 sikas in the park, and from a distance they can be confused with red deer. Close up one can spot the differences. The sika is only about half the size of the red and had more rounded ears. This male is in its winter coat, but in summer they are a lighter tan with spots.

Waiting for the feed truck

Group of deer [mostly red] awaiting the arrival of the winter feed truck. The deer in the park get a regular feed of hay and sheep nuts. The nuts are particularly popular and it is usually the red stags that get the biggest share, being able to bully the others out of the way. The deer here are far larger and in better condition than their cousins in the Scottish Highlands thanks to good grass and extra feed through the winter.

Sweet tasting hay

Fallow deer hind enjoying the hay provided as winter feed in Studley Park. This individual must be one of the smallest deer in the park and is probably one of the young from the summer of 2007.

Studley Royal stable block

The stable block is neatly bisected by the '70 northing' grid line, but this side is largely within this square. The building dates from c1730 and was built in the fashionable Palladian style. See also SE2769 : The Stables, Studley Royal for more details.

Land Drain In Studley Park

With the top stones removed the deer can now drink from this drain, which carries fresh spring water under the park, which would otherwise sink away.

Track over Rough Bridge

In an area of 18th century landscaped parkland, this track is a remnant of earlier times as beyond the bridge it briefly becomes a sunken lane. This was part of the former route between Sutton Magna - a medieval village within the current park which has long since vanished, and Ripon.

The Dale, Studley Park

The Dale is the name given to this small steep sided dry valley within Studley Park. The valley marks the course of a glacial meltwater channel, of which there are several within the local area.

Oak Avenue, Studley Park

Visitors are familiar with the fine avenue of limes that runs through Studley Park from the East Gate to the obelisk, but few see this avenue of oaks [with one beech] that forms a sightline between the stable block and Ripon Minster.
