Nottinghamshire - Colwick Country Park

250 acres of park to explore on foot or by bike

On the outskirts of Nottingham is the 250 acre Colwick Country Park, with its myriad of cycle and walking trails and rich diversity of wildlife. There are dragonflies, butterflies and a large number of migratory birds, including the nationally important population of wildfowl in the winter.

Colwick Country Park, the house and parkland can be traced back to before 1362 where the ownership of the hall had passed through a number of families including the infamous Byrons and Musters. The current house on the site dates from the late 18th century, although there have been various modifications to the building and the design over the years.

The park offers a large, diverse area of water, meadows and woodland and is the perfect place to capture some amazing photographs of all the wildlife and stunning landscape as you take a break from your bike ride or hike.
