Wilford Suspension Bridge — Local services in Rushcliffe

Feeling romantic? Then hop over to the suspension bridge over the River Trent.

True romantics take an engraved padlock and clip it to the bridge and others just walk over and take photos of trent bridge, the council house or Nottingham Forest football ground in the distance, you can also see the top of Trent Bridge cricket ground.

If you're early enough you'll see light craft on the river or teams from the local rowing or dragon boat clubs.

It's wheelchair friendly all around the embankments, to get over the suspension bridge there is a five metre incline either side, and a board walk from one side to the other.

On windy days you can feel the bridge swaying slightly too but on sunny days there's normally an ice cream van at the memorial side of the bridge for anyone wanting to stop and grab an ice cream.

If you're fancy a walk there is a circular walk around the embankment: 5k is from the suspension bridge up to trent bridge, and down and over to the tram bridge, if you're feeling fancy you can do a figure of eight where the suspension bridge is the bit in the middle of a number eight. Its a nice walk but it can be occasionally windy in parts.

If you have kids there is a great park just over the suspension bridge and turn left, take their bikes so they can experience the super cool bike track with working traffic lights, zebra crossings and a roundabout.
