Dunham has had a herd of deer for hundreds of years. The deer park is the only medieval park in Trafford to survive to the present day; the earliest record of Dunham's deer park dates from 1353. Today, the present herd numbers approximately 150. Four colours of fallow deer roam Dunham Massey: black, common, menil and white. The bucks grow new antlers each year, ready for the autumn rut.
