Fly-tippers are quite difficult to catch. If you see it done the best thing to do is to take the number plate of the vehicle. Poor deer.

The car park entrance is very poorly signposted. But the forest is very peaceful

In the Waterperry wood area of Bernwood Forest there appears to be fly-tipping on the main drive, including food waste, plastic bags and balloons. There is also a fallow deer carcase which may have ingested some of this rubbish.
