Not so long ago I moved to Ravenshead Village and to my delight, literally on the door step, I have the most beautiful place to go to for my daily walks with my dog. I fell in love with this magical place with amazing sunrise and sunsets, noisy and curious peacocks, Canadian Geese, Swans, beautiful waterfalls, lakes and ponds and the most amazing gardens! I don’t know any gardener personally to say a big thank you for keeping the Abbey grounds so beautiful, but their hard work definitely shows and is highly appreciated ! By pure chance I came across on Instagram to one of the gardeners page adavison.gardener and I’ll take a chance to say Thank you , you doing really great job! I highly recommend Newstead Abbey for a simple stroll around beautiful grounds, for walk with dogs, for tranquility and meditation in Japanese Garden, for bird listening and watching, photography, picnics, running , cycling and much much more ! 10/10!!!!

6. Green's Windmill

Green's Windmill is a restored 19th Century tower mill, once home to mathematical physicist George Green. Turning again since 1986, climb to the top of our windmill and see how our sails turn grain into flour. In our interactive Science Centre discover the remarkable story of George Green, and experiment with light, electricity and magnetism. There's something for all the family!

This may be small, but between the science centre and the windmill itself, it kept my two boys (8 and 4) happy for a couple of hours. We paid a couple of pounds for the age-targeted treasure hunts which they each enjoyed completing. I found it really interesting too, George Green is the most influential mathematician you've never heard of and I loved climbing up through the working mill - how often do you get the opportunity to see a traditional mill grinding flour? Really impressive. Excellent value for money - and there is a big children's playground on the same site so they can go for a run around and a leg stretch afterwards.

This is a lovely old pub set in a cave, the food is surprisingly delicious and has a lovely range of drinks! I highly recommend visiting this pub if you have the chance, despite the fact it is touristy and can get quite busy.

Being Nottingham family we must have visited Wollaton Park literally hundreds of times. And while a little more TLC wouldn’t go amiss from the City Council, or a good deal more respect for the park from its visitors, it’s still arguably Nottingham’s finest visitor attraction. From its small natural history museum (housed in the historic Wollaton Hall which incidentally doubled as Wayne Manor in the Dark Knight Batman blockbuster), to its equally historic Camillia House and gardens, through to its picturesque lake and herds of roaming deer, Wollaton Park is an all things to all people, something for everyone of every age location. Add to this huge swathes of grass, numerous walks, vast expanses of open space, shaded glades, numerous views, adjoining golf course, ample seating areas, a cafe, and farm and souvenir shops and a kiddies adventure playground and it’s just the place to take the kids, walk the dog, take elderly parents or simply walk, sit around and enjoy. Not only that but if you arrive on foot it’s free and even if you park it’s only £3 so hardly breaks the bank. Check the website though because in the warmer months the park hosts numerous events from car exhibitions to huge weekend pop concerts.

Built in 1824, The Workhouse is the best preserved workhouse in England. A place of despair or a beacon of hope? Visit and decide for yourself.

Excellent experience of the hard reality of working class social history. Beautifully done. A refreshingly ‘real’ vignette of the lives of lower classes as opposed to the upper classes so often seen at a NT property. Sobering still used well into the 1980s. Helpful staff / good shop / cafe etc.
10. Hodsock Priory

Hodsock Priory is a wedding venue on a private estate surrounded by North Nottinghamshire countryside and easily accessible from the A1 and M1 at Blyth. Nationally famous for its winter garden and displays of snowdrops - open in February only each year. Wrap up warm and enjoy a walk in the woods then have a cup of tea a slice of home-made cake by the bonfire.

We came across Hodsock when looking for a venue for our wedding and decided it was the place for us. After a few conversations we agreed a date. Shortly afterwards we were invited to an afternoon to taste a number of the menu offerings which further reinforced we had made the right choice. In the 6 or so months we had to arrange things there wasn’t a need for hugely regular communication with the Hodsock team but when we needed them they were there. As the date drew closer there were little things that came up on our list that were no trouble for the team to accommodate. The big day arrived and family and friends staying at the Priory arrived early and Hodsock agreed that we could provide a small buffet to keep them going. Vicki was on hand to discreetly deal with a slightly lost and delayed cake ( crisis averted ) Our guests were all hugely impressed with setup and how well things ran. There’s a fine line between being there when needed whilst not being overbearing and in the way - the team managed this with aplomb. When it came to the food there were a few last minute (guest requested ) swaps which were dealt with without issue. All in all we had an absolutely fabulous day which was of course down to having many of our friends and family there to celebrate with us but also down to the excellent service we received. The day went far too quickly but we have loads of special memories. The following morning our guests staying at the Priory joined us for breakfast and what a breakfast it was - complimented by all. Just one small request on behalf of us poor unpracticed individuals who need to help getting the wedding dress off at the end of the evening - some sort of kit to help unhook, unclasp and unfasten would go down a treat ???? Thank You Vicki, Courtney, Ruby and the Team Janine and John MacMahon
