It really needs some investment in it now. The paths are all really overgrown and muddy. Even though there's always volunteers cleaning the litter, it's never got the cleanest feeling about the place either. The council could just do a bit of work once in a while instead of just mowing the grass on the field once a year and pretending it's a nature haven or something. The only thing that's thriving there at the moment are used gas cannisters and beer cans as it is.
Nice place for a walk and some fantastic spots to get a great view of the surrounding areas. Lots of different routes you can take, which keeps interesting if you visit multiple times. I can see Sharphill Woods in West Bridgford (my local woods) from the big open field that's located in the middle of the woods.
My oh my what a wonderful place this is. Firstly, getting there is not the easiest as you have to drive through Nottingham. Never knew a city can have so many tramp and bus lanes 🙈 nonetheless Google took us there. I was a bit sceptical at first as from the main road it doesn't look like much, but oh well we thought we'd give it a go since we drove to it. And I am sooooooo glad we did. This place is like an amazingness waiting to be absorbed. It has massive well kept fields which have stunning views over the city. Even though there were lots of people you felt like you're alone as it is very big. To the left side of these fields and further up there is a woodlandy area with footpath clearly signposted. No livestock around so you can let your doggies have a bit of a run about. Further down there is a signpost for a bridleway but we did not see where this is so not sure. I am in awe about this place. We are definitely visiting again.
Wonderful place for a dog walk. Lovely trails through the woods and large open green spaces and amazing views. My dog was looking forward to paddling in the streams, but there was no water to be found. I guess he will have to wait until the fall or winter for the streams and ponds to return. Nevertheless a great place for him to explore and me to be in nature so close to the centre of Nottingham.
Always a favourite spot to walk, and to walk our pooch! She loves it as much as us! Usually lots of friendly walkers there too, which always makes it feel nicer! Beautiful views, especially overlooking Nottingham. Lovely woodland walks with streams when there's rainfall. Lots of lovely routes you can do to keep it interesting! So lucky to have it on our door step! I continue to find new walks too, which is always fun!
