Sightseeing the Deers at 🇮🇪Phoenix Park, Dublin Ireland

The Phoenix Park was established as a Royal Deer Park in 1662 by James Butler,Duke of Ormond and fallow deer were imported from Great Britain by the Duke. Fallow deer have been in the Park ever since. Some of the deer living in the Park today are the descendants of those original deer brought over 350 years ago.
The wild deer herd has become an integral part of the biodiversity in the Phoenix Park over 350 years. Getting rid of the herd would have a major impact on the biodiversity of the park including changing wildlife habitats.
The largest of London’s Royal Parks, Richmond Park, also contains wild fallow deer.
Today the herd is maintained at approximately 600 wild deer.
