Auckland Castle Deer House

Built about 1760 by Richard Trevor, Bishop of Durham from 1752 to 1771, it provided a feeding place and shelter for the deer, and also had rooms in which the bishop and his guests could picnic, enjoy the views of the park and take a rest from hunting.

The deer house can be reached on foot from the castle through semi-wooded public parkland. Exterior view only, dogs are permitted on lead.
