Arboretum

I took my 5 year old daughter here to take a look at the Arboretum. This place didn't seem interesting to her. She was more interested in knowing what the crow was and the yellow roses. We trekked our way to the Chinese Bell Tower and took a look at it for a minute or two. It's a bit of a walk for her. Especially up some hills. She became tired quite fast.

Nottingham’s oldest park, opened by the Victorians on 11th May 1852 by the Mayor and the Sheriff of the Borough in front of 30,000 people.

It’s a relaxing and calm place to wander around, and the wide diversity of design and features make it feel even bigger than it really is. There is also a fantastic little cafe by Waverley Street entrance.

If you found my review or photos interesting please leave a quick thumbs up 👍 Thank you!

Lovely park to enjoy nature, have a picnic or a walk. There’s a beautiful lake with lots of wildlife around (ducks and squirrels mostly) and a variety of types of trees. It does get locked depending on the season so make sure to check the opening times so you avoid getting locked in!

Just a really nice and relaxing park, very well kept and everything a park like this should be. It helped that the Sun was shining but in general it was great and the concert that was on gave another dimension to the park and proves that it can handle big events well too.

Great place for a lovely morning stroll and a breathe of fresh air. Away from the hustle bustle of the city centre with greenery and sounds of birds chirping. If there were a few more coffee shops around the place it would be beneficial as there is only one shop and it gets quite busy during the mornings.

A well kept relaxing park with a beautiful lake. Lots to do and see for all ages. This park is very peaceful with stunning trees. The park is very clean with plenty of seating. A nice cafe too for snacks and coffee ☕️

This is such a big peaceful area to visit. The sound of the trees when the wind blows,is such a refreshing sound. The colourful flowers make this place is a relaxing place to be. This is such a nice place to have picnics especially during summer time.There are a number of bins and the park is well maintained. It is important to point out that there is a pond with some ducks and there is a restriction of not feeding these ducks. We love to visit this place as its easily accessible with nearby tram stop and also it is wheelchair accessible.

Visited early in the morning, lovely park, well manicured, dew on the ground, sun shining through trees, dog walkers in good attendance.
Surprised to see a small aviary there, but the birds looked very happy.
The exhibit that caught my eye was the Chinese Bell Tower, the bell being bought to the UK during the Opium wars, my word we took so much plunder from almost every corner of the word, but you can't turn back the clock !
