Locations & Days Out in Nottinghamshire, UK

Nottinghamshire is my home County, I live in the city center of Nottingham. Large parts of North Nottinghamshire are still covered by Sherwood Forest, which is not the great forest it was 100's of years ago, but still beautiful.

Nowadays Sherwood isn't really one large forest but a collection of smaller forests, woods and parks, like - Clumber Park Rufford Park and The Major Oak visitor center & park.

These 'places to visit' pages will grow over the coming months as I travel around taking photos. 		  A large section of the River Trent runs through Nottinghamshire creating many natural beauty spots.
Natural places of interest in Nottinghamshire include
Wollaton Park
Nottingham University Park
Naturescape Wildflower Centre
Newstead Abbey Gardens
Greens Windmill
Colwick Park		 Holme Pierrepont Lock
Gunthorpe Lock
Newark on Trent (castle & locks)
Attenborough Nature Reserve.
