Donington Park is a 32.9hectare biological Site of Special Scientific Interest west of Castle Donington in Leicestershire.[1] [2] It is separate from the nearby Donington Park motorsport circuit.
The park was mentioned in the Domesday Book, and it has been managed as a deer park for all of its recorded history. Most of it has a short grass sward, with areas of bracken and ancient oaks, which provide a habitat for rare beetles and spiders.[3]
The site is private land with no public access.
