Discover the forest
Sherwood Forest is an ancient royal forest in Nottinghamshire, famous for its association with the legend of Robin Hood. A National Nature Reserve encompassing 423.2 hectares, it's home to a range of flora and fauna, including ancient oak trees, which have grown there for over 500 years. It also has several walking trails and hosts seasonal events, which you can enjoy with all the free time you now have in retirement.
An architectural wonder
Wollaton Hall is one of England's finest Grade I-listed Elizabethan buildings and the largest dedicated Natural History Museum in Nottinghamshire. This heritage site has over 500 acres of parkland waiting to be explored; you can traverse the walking trails, go birdwatching and spot the herds of deer which roam the land. There's also a tranquil lake, formal gardens and a play area, perfect for days out with your family.
Explore a place rich in history
You can delve into more local history at Newstead Abbey. This monastery was built in the late 12th century and is the former home of Romantic poet Lord Byron. The abbey boasts over 300 acres of parkland, with lakes, ponds and wildlife habitats; you can see peacocks and swans as you walk around the gardens. When it's time for refreshments, go to the café which offers sit-in and takeaway options.
A focal point for everybody
Nottingham is the county's beating heart and has an enticing array of shops, places to eat and entertainment venues. Old Market Square sits in the centre of it all.

The square also provides direct access to the numerous streets that comprise the city's shopping scene.
County page review
“I’m settling in well and getting to know my new neighbours, who are all very friendly and welcoming. One great thing about my new apartment is that I spend less time doing household chores and more time having fun. My family are glad I’ve made the move, as they know I’m safe and happy here. Churchill’s downsizing advisers and our Sales Executive Hilary were such a great help with the move, I couldn’t have done it without them!”
