Wollaton Park
This super deer park in Nottingham is ideal for a short cycle or walk in delightful surroundings. The park is located on the western edge of the city centre and consists of an exquisite Elizabethan mansion surrounded by acres of parkland, woodland, lakes, formal gardens and the deer park.
In the splendid Wollaton Hall you will find the Nottingham Natural History Museum, with Nottingham Industrial Museum located in the surrounding out-buildings. In the film The Dark Knight Rises Wollaton Hall was used as Wayne Manor, the extravagant home of Bruce Wayne.
To extend your exercise you could pick up the Nottingham Canal and enjoy a cycle or walk to Langley Mill. The canal forms part of the longer circular Erewash Valley Trail which takes you on a super tour of the area on traffic free paths.

Pubs/Cafes
After your exercise head into Nottingham to visit the unique Canalhouse pub in the city centre. It is famous for having a canal that extends into the grade II listed building, complete with resident narrow boats. There's also a large covered beer garden situated by the canal side which enables people to sit outside no matter the weather. You can find it at 48-52 Canal Street, NG1 7EH
Also of interest is the Fellows, Morton & Clayton housed in the former canal museum. The 19th century pub has nice outdoor seating next to the canal. It's also on Canal Street near to the Canalhouse pub
Dog Walking
The park is a great place for a dog walk but its best to keep them on a lead near the deer.

Part of the beautiful avenue of trees leading from near the Hall down to the lake.
Wollaton Hall is one of the finest Elizabethan houses in England. This avenue between the trees leads up the hill from the Lake to the Hall.
The deer.
Path in Wollaton Park. The path leads up from the lake to the house; the small bridge in the foreground crosses the ha-ha, which keeps the deer in the park away from the house.
The Lake in Wollaton Park. Wollaton Hall lies in 500 acres of a Deer Park and can be seen here across the lake from Thompson's Wood. It is now home to Nottingham's Natural History Collection.

False Bridge. Seen from across the southern tip of the lake this was probably a boathouse designed to "enhance the landscape".
Somewhere to rest.
