Elephants! 
I'd be bloody careful if I were you the next time you step out in your garden 
Seriously though the only long legged wild animal in Britain is a deer isnt it? The marks dont look like they could be caused by hoofs due to how narrow they are though, perhaps the deer was on tippy toes

LMFAO (although im no expert Sipie and you could be right) but thats one ***** of a hare to have that long a step and since when did hares walk up on their hind legs - I thought they hopped like the over grown bunnies that they are
I still say its a deer just from the length of step and that a deers hoof has 3 sections to it just like that set of tracks.
If the tracks are still there can you follow them to the boundary of your property and see if there are any droppings anywhere along the tracks?

It'll have been a monkjack
(small deer-like animal)
They use our garden as a through-route to a gap in the fence at the end there. Sat out one night drinking a beer & looking at the stars (summertime!) when one just saunters past as if it owned the place, not 10 feet away...
That'll soon be stopping though when I re-fence the surroundings & chicken-wire the place against the rabbits
Makes for creepy foot-prints though

Ah ha! I saw one of these little gits (made me swerve the scoob) standing by the side of the road up in Lincolnshire a few years ago and wondered wtf it was and now I know Was far too small for a deer and thought it was some exotic thing escaped from a farm/zoo 
At least I was close with my guess of a deer/3 parts to the hoof theory
One of these then http://www.chantec5.co.uk/animaluk/a...r/Muntjac.html

SJ - live surrounded by farm land in the middle of nowhere - I put up with all their mud etc, help out if necessary & in return get some venison/pheasant/beef etc
