If you are in the UK with family, friends and looking for a historic place to visit, Auckland Castle Deer House in Bishop Auckland is a perfect place to go. Built over 800 years ago, the castle is surrounded by lush green gardens on a 200-acres park land. Open to the public, this is a quiet and peaceful place, for taking a stroll or admiring nature. Located in the countryside, there is also an abandoned English Heritage Deer House which is just a short walk from the Castle. A well-maintained park, this is an ideal destination to enjoy wildlife and some stunning views too.
