Tourist attraction in Nottingham

“A very beautiful place to go out with family and friends. It’s quiet and calm, especially beautiful in autumn.”

“One of my favourite places for a walk. I often visit here while at Holme Pierrepont County Park, or on my way back from Cotgrave Country Park via the old railway line that leads to Radcliffe On Trent. There's some incredible scenery all year round with a couple of routes through a nice wooded area that I always take. It also has a some open green spaces, a meadow, a pond with reed beds, a stream and a big lake with islands that's popular with bird watchers. It used to be a commercial gravel pit, but was transformed into a nature reserve in the 80s. It even has a route that is wheelchair friendly. Because it's close to Holme Pierrepont County Park you're never too far from a couple of cafes and toilets too”

“Lovely experience for a first time visit, food was yummy, staff friendly”

“A lovely family Sunday lunch was enjoyed by all. A large Sunday roast beef for me with Yorkshire Pudding, roast potatoes, kale, parsnip, carrot & stuffing. Friendly, quick & efficient service. We'll be back!”

“Lovely park to explore with a combination of a lake, river and greenery.”

“Nottingham's got some amazing pizza places and this is certainly up there with the best of them! We popped in on a Friday afternoon, got a table outside in the sunshine and ordered what turned out to be a huuuge Detroit style pizza and 2 pints of Deya Steady Rolling Man. Service was very personable and very fast and before we knew it, we were drinking our beer and tucking into our pie. First bite was heaven. The sauce was packed with flavour and the seasoning was perfectly balanced. The crust had crispy melted cheese all round it which was gorgeous. We couldn't finish it in the end so the waiter offered to box it up for us. The beer was well kept and there was a big selection. Always a fan of Deya though. 10% gratuity was automatically added to the bill. I'm generally not a fan of this growing trend. I do generally tip 10% anyway but I like that to be my choice. Overall, I'll definitely be going back to Slice 'n' Brew (my kids wouldn't forgive me if I didn't take them at some point). Amazing pizza and craft beer in a great location. Keep it up!!”

“Ciao!! Live local and first time to visit here. Good Atmosphere, good food, delicious carbonara 再見!（Goodbye in Cantonese) Must visit again!”

“Beautiful grub, great coffee and a view you won't forget. Outdoor seating, dog friendly. It's the perfect place to go and watch the ducks and Bexs is top notch, always happy and friendly. defo recommend the ice cream”

“It’s a true privilege to capture the beginning of a new story, and the beauty of West Park made everything all the more magical. Such a lovely setting for an unforgettable moment. Swipe across to feel a little of the magic we shared together! ✨”

“Found this place whilst wandering around Hockley looking for somewhere to eat, and boy are we glad we did! Cool place with lovely staff and awesome pizza. Love the amount of vegan options too!”

“One of the best set menu fine dining experiences in Nottingham. It was clear on every course the detail put into the flavours and presentation. The taste was also incredible on every course and very much worth the cost. I also went away feeling decent level of full and the course pacing allowed a good amount of time to make it's a great experience. Staff were also great and attentive to dietary needs. Overall a super experience worth trying.”

“A must if you like a crafty one! Not cheap but they have a fantastic selection of different types and styles of beer. All wrapped up in a chilled out atmosphere!”

“This is a hidden gem, and Tony is an even bigger gem. Our breakfast was lovely!”

“Used to visit here on a regular basis, however this was my first visit for over 6 months. Thoroughly enjoyed walking round the lake on a sunny evening and was impressed how tidy and well kept the park was. Rowing boats available for rent, as well as mini golf and football golf. Good for families, with large grass areas for picnics and a regular ice cream van parked up. There is also a small coffee shop in the Lakeside art centre.”

“A lovely green space in the town. Excellent children's playground. Well looked after by Rushcliffe Borough Council and Friends of Bridgford Park”

“First time visiting, and very impressed. Great views from the viewing points. Had a lovely walk with a friend then a very reasonable egg on toast ín the cafe 1899. Will be back with my family.”

“It was very nice place for walking around with the kids we had a lot of fun there was plenty of parking places and it was free for 30 minutes. I will visit this place more often”

“Without doubt one of the best restaurants in town, the ramen is always superb. Full of flavours and textures, it’s cozy and a very good place to have a confort food. The radish cake is surprisingly good. Better if you book a reservation before visiting”

“Delicious kebabs (both meat and vegetarian) with a good quantity of hot roasted vegetables, fresh salad and tasty pita. The lady serving us was very friendly, and it was an excellent meal for the price.”

“Always the best service, staff is so friendly and polite, service very good and food always on point. We come from derby are regulars here. Always trust this place for quality, ambience and friendly service.”

“We come here with my non-veg friend every March when she is vegan for a month for Her beliefs and we always leave happy and satisfied. The foos is absolutely gorgeous and so tasty. The prices are a bit too much I guess it is what you get for everything fresh and prepared in the kitchen in front of you. Despite the service being a bit slow, the ambiance and the staff being so nice make up for it!”

“I used to dine in here a few years ago and had my first takeaway this week. WOW, I wish I had come back sooner. The ribs are to die for. Everything I had was delicious and full of flavour (Crispy Chili beef, Salt and Pepper Chicken) and at a very decent price too. I will be back more often now. This place is my new favourite!”

“The place looks like a normal “Cafe” in Portugal, they have normal used portuguese products. We order the francesinha, which was amazing! Awesome cozy space and family kind of portuguese food.”

“EXCELLENT whisky selection. Really impressive. And friendly, knowledgeable service. A joy to see and I'll be certain to return, when next visiting Nottingham.”

“Perfect Place to feed mixed grain bird food to the geese, swans, and ducks. A beautiful nature reserve where there's lots of trails to follow for miles if you want to explore.”

“Great place for a nice relaxing walk.”

“Good honest quality food very reasonable prices. Great pies and super breakfasts.”

“Great place for a quiet walk around the lake. Lots of benches and bin on the way round.”

“Heanor Memorial Park Heanor Memorial Park is a spacious and attractive green space with plenty to offer visitors. The beautifully maintained gardens are seasonally refreshed with vibrant bedding plants, while a variety of mature trees and open grassy areas provide a peaceful and relaxing environment. Whether you're looking for a tranquil spot to sit or a scenic place to walk, the park offers plenty of benches and open space to enjoy. A Living Memorial: The Park’s History In the aftermath of World War II, the local community sought a meaningful way to honor the men who had lost their lives. Rather than erecting a traditional stone monument as had been done after World War I, the vision this time was to create a "living memorial"—a public park that could be enjoyed by all. At a public meeting held in October 1945, it was decided that unused land near the town centre would be developed into the memorial park. The project was funded entirely by public donations and community fundraising efforts, and included a traditional war memorial at its heart. The park was officially opened on April 28, 1951, by the Duke of Devonshire. A cross-denominational dedication service emphasized the inclusive nature of the memorial. In 1974, ownership of the park was transferred to Amber Valley Borough Council. Later Additions and Improvements In the 1980s, a plaque was added to the war memorial to honor those who died in the Falklands Conflict of 1982. Over the years, the park has seen several enhancements, including the installation of a bandstand and modern play facilities, making it a welcoming space for all ages. Interesting Facts Historic Gates: The park’s impressive main entrance gates were originally the Derby Lodge entrance to the now-demolished Shipley Hall. A second set of gates, located opposite the Miners' Welfare, also came from Shipley Hall’s gardens. Both sets of gates were refurbished in 2010, preserving a piece of local heritage.”
