Explore a sprawling city park featuring a Grade II listed manor house, formal gardens, tropical greenhouse, and scenic tree trails perfect for families.

Woodthorpe Grange Park is an impressive large green space on the edge of Nottingham offering a diverse range of attractions and activities for visitors of all ages. At its heart sits The Grange, a stunning 19th century Grade II listed manor house surrounded by beautifully landscaped grounds. The park showcases formal gardens, a unique sunken garden with water features, greenhouses, grassland, and small wooded areas that create varied environments to explore. Families can enjoy interactive experiences such as downloadable tree trails that guide visitors through the park while learning about native and rare tree species planted throughout the site. An innovative train sculpture at the entrance to the old railway bridge adds to the charm and appeals particularly to younger visitors. The park provides excellent facilities including the New Bean Culture Café, accessible toilets (open 9am-3pm daily), and ample on-site parking, making it convenient for day trips. Woodthorpe Grange welcomes dogs on leads in designated areas and is fully accessible from both the city centre and wider community via Woodthorpe Drive or Mansfield Road. Free entry and pushchair-friendly paths make it ideal for families with young children. The park regularly hosts community events advertised through Eventbrite, and visitors can also arrange private events on the grounds.

Just perfect, that pretty much sums it up, location, pitch, facilities, and especially the home cook cuisine.

Woodthorpe Grange Park is a really nice, quiet park. It’s great for a chilled walk or just taking a break.

A very charming park, could just do with owners perhaps having dogs a little more under control.

Lovely park with a nice circular walk, a children's playground, a coffee/ tea cafe, an old railway track complete with an old engine. There's some local community mosaic artwork and at the top a great plant nursery.
