I would doubt it. However, from the parking area you do get a view of the deer park so it is possible you may see some of the deer. The gates are normally open just after Easter to late October (if memory serves). However, note please: it took the team over a week to reply to my email, so if you have a contact number I would suggest you try it. Hope all this helps.

Free to get in, the carpark for the red deer bit is also free but if you visit the visitor centre a bit further along then you pay about £3 for all day parking!
