CIRENCESTER PARK
Over the years Cirencester Park has been a deer park, a military base, a hospital and the venue for a Glenn Miller concert.
​
It was originally laid out in the 1700s as a deer park by the first Earl Bathurst. It remained that way until the First World War when it became a military camp, once home to the Warwickshire Yeomanry.
​
During this time the fences surrounding the deer park fell into disrepair and fallow deer escaped, a herd of which roam the Park to this day.

With 2,500 species of tree, the arboretum plays a vital part in conservation and research as well as a beautiful place to walk amongst nature.

For music lovers, the arboretum is home to numerous live music events throughout the year!
