Deer Park, Wollaton Hall and ASDA

Wollaton Hall

One of the first places we visited was Wollaton Hall and Deer Park.  It is located about 2 miles from our home.  The main house that sits on the 500 acre estate is called Wollaton Hall.  Wollaton Hall was built between 1580 and 1588 for Sir Francis Willoughby.  It is said to have been paid for with coal from the Wollaton pits owned by Willoughby.  It is now a national history museum.

There are walking trails around the lake.

Deer Park

Deer park is basically the grounds of Wollaton Hall.  It is called Deer Park because of all the deer that live there.  I loved this place because there were deer and other animals just walking around with the humans like we are not even there.  The animals I saw were...


Deer


Ducks

Swans

The ugly duckling(who is very cute)

And a goose who walked right up to me

ASDA


Right after we visited Wollaton Hall and Deer Park, I went to ASDA.  ASDA is a grocery store that has everything but the moon, and Root Beer.  It is located about 1 mile from my home.
