Waterfall and stepping stones... Scenic enough that a family of little egrets have moved into the tree opposite. 👍

A lovely place for a gentle cycle or stroll. It's a popular spot!

The Trent Valley Way is a 108 mile (174 km) long distance path following the course of the river. This section follows one of the banks through the Attenborough Nature Reserve alongside East Lake.

St Chad’s water was created in the 1970’s during the excavation of the underlying gravel deposits by Haveringham Gravels. As quarrying proceeded, water flooded the lake through the subterranean water table and once the site was abandoned, the lake and its environs were sold to Draycott and Church Wilne Parish Council for £1.00. St Chads Water and its surrounding environments are an important local resource for informal countryside recreation such as fishing, walking and bird watching. The site is approx. 23 acres and consists of the Lake with a circular walking path around it, woodland edges, a wildflower meadow area and in 2023 we have opened up a new area for use as an outdoor classroom.

Highfields Park was part of an estate built and landscaped in the late 18th and early 19th century. In 1920 Sir J Boot bought the estate and used it as the site of the East Midlands University (now Nottingham University). Highfileds House became part of the university and is currently used as a staff annexe. The landscape was re-modelled to suit the setting, with the joining of the fishing pond and small boating lake to become the larger lake we see today. The public can walk around Highfields Park. The circuit of the lake is a nice, gentle walk within the city.

cracking little bike track, went on my XC mountain bike but id imagine you'd be just as happy on your gravel bike. not too far from food and refreshments here aswell

The boating lake is park of Highfields Park. The lake is an extension of the fishing lake built in the late 18th centaury. The founder of Boots bought the estate in 1920 and used it a s a base for the University of Nottingham.

Watch out for lemmings and cattle using the cycle path

Just come and enjoy!

At Beeston Marina you should stop for a cup of coffee or a lovely scone the Coffee shop there!

Great park for a jog- good paved paths, and rougher tracks to choose from, nice views, easy access.

Nice cycle track. You will need a bell as busy with pedestrians. Busy at weekends.

This is a river path that's really easy and tranquil to ride along. There are numerous ponds and it's a really popular bird-watching spot. From the trail you'll reach a fork at one point and you can either keep following the river or take the turning and head into the nature reserve (£3 donation). If you want to take a closer look at the birds you can go into the nature reserve office and obtain a pass to access the bird hides. On weekends it gets really busy so having a bell is advisable or time your route so that you pass here in the mornings or late afternoon.

Lakeside cafe and arts centre on the edge of the lake on the University of Nottingham's university park campus. Perfect spot to stop for a coffee with a view of the lake. The lake is the perfect distance and a lovely terrain to do running loops. You can even hire a rowing boat to take out on the lake during the Spring and Summer terms.
