Ay'up Stolly...there used to be a herd of Red Deer in the Hellifield Moor area, they were introduced by a land owner many years ago. Eventually the herd dispersed into the surrounding area and for the last 10 years the deer have resided in the Langber Lane/Scaleber area. I have some film footage from last year of a 20 plus strong herd in a field near to the Wildshare Plantation adjacent to Langber Lane. They're always in the area but are quite elusive. I have an ambition to photograph the herd one of these days.
