The White Park is a modern British breed of cattle. It was established in 1973 to include several herds or populations of colour-pointed white cattle – white-coated, with points of either red or black on the ears and feet.[5] Such cattle have a long history in the British Isles, and the origins of some herds go back to the Middle Ages.[6][7][8][9][10]

In the twenty-first century it is an endangered breed, and in 2023 was listed as 'at risk' on the watchlist of the Rare Breeds Survival Trust.[11] Two semi-feral populations of these cattle were later given separate breed status as the Chillingham Wild Cattle in Northumbria[12] and the Vaynol herd from Gwynedd in North Wales,[13] .
In the United States it is known as the Ancient White Park; the American White Park is a different breed.[14]
