Whitworth Hall, part 1

Whitworth Hall is a location in Bishop Auckland, Co. Durham which is such a wilderness haven, seemingly untouched by the modern world. The link in the title isn't the official web site, it just has the best photos.
The park is a national park, free to everyone. While there, you can view the lake, which has a statue in the center and lighted tunnel under the bridge. You can feed the geese and the deer, enjoy a hot meal in the restaurant while your children play in the soft play area, then relax in a wonderful Victorian Hotel. We've never been in the hotel, but it is magnificent from the outside. The restaurant seems quite popular too.
The kids had a great time feeding the deer. We promise to go a little earlier next time and get photos with more light (before 4:30pm!). The sun went down so fast and we were kind of cold.

It takes about a bag full of food for the deer to warm up to the people, then they eat out of your hands. The deer seem to like Abigail, she is more their size.
