With another bank holiday weekend coming up, and hopefully sunnier days on the horizon, we got to thinking about some of the fabulous beauty spots in Nottinghamshire and the surrounding areas. Places where folk could happily while away a few hours.
There are some stunning gems on our doorstep, including hidden gardens, historic homes and nature reserves brimming with wildlife. Plus, the beauty spots we've highlighted are all around an hour's drive or less from the city.
So, if you have some spare time this weekend, why not discover just what our local area has to offer visitors? While they may be well signposted once you get on the road to discover them, you may not have ventured to the locations for a day out. You may be surprised by what you find and how good for the soul a day out can be.
