Wollaton Hall

A marvellous 16th-century Elizabethan country house, the striking symmetrical architecture of Wollaton Hall now houses a natural history museum.

The park that surrounds the hall is a lovely place for an afternoon ramble. Fallow deer roam the grounds, whilst its popular lake boasts a nature trail.

Wollaton Park is a large park home to a variety of wildlife including, two herds of wild deer, 90 Red and 120 Fallow.

It is not for nothing that the building and park were used by Warner Bros in 2012 as a backdrop for the Batman film “The Dark Knight Rises”. selected. A really beautiful building that stands out on the hill and the park around it.
Unfortunately, like many (if not all) historic buildings in and around Nottingham, it only opens from 11am.
