Raby Castle near Staindrop in County Durham has added a new deer safari and moorland tour to its expanding portfolio of visitor experiences.
The deer safari and moorland tour join Raby Castle’s other experiences, including cookery masterclasses in the medieval kitchen, behind-the-scenes castle tours, and afternoon tea options.
Additionally, the 14th-century castle features manicured gardens, acres of ancient parkland, and new retail and dining spaces.
Home to deer for centuries, Raby Castle’s deer safari sees guests heading out in 4×4 cars with expert rangers to observe the estate’s red and fallow deer in their natural habitat. An additional deer safari on foot is also on offer.
As for the new moorland experience, this is an exclusive tour of the North Pennines led by the estate ranger.
In addition, Raby Castle has launched a new concierge service, which lets visitors design their own bespoke experience packages.
Emma Chalder, who works in the Raby concierge team, said: “Whether it’s a marriage proposal on a deer safari or a team-building group joining a cookery masterclass, the one thing I never get tired of is pulling together the perfect package.
“We take the time to listen to the needs of our visitors and create the ideal schedule to suit exactly what they’re after.”
Raby Castle’s new concierge service
Earlier this year, Raby Castle opened a new project called ‘the Rising’, which includes the restoration of three listed buildings and the creation of two more.
Claire Jones, head of leisure and tourism at Raby Castle, told blooloop: “We recognise that visitors want so much more from a visit to a historic house and garden these days.
“They want great service, beautiful surroundings to enjoy a drink or lunch and excellent shopping experiences, events and exhibitions.”
