Lynford Stag

Glimpsed through the roadside trees, a passing traveller could be forgiven for marvelling at the audacity of the bold deer parading at this popular picnic site. The distinctive creature, however, is no more than a metal imitation "target stag", found by the Forestry Commission workers when the area was being planted. It belonged to the former owner of Lynford Hall, Sir Richard Sutton, Master of the Hunt and bears the scars of its former role. In addition there is a giant wood play sculpture of a deer!
