🇬🇧 Nottingham Day Trip｜Slow Summer Days

I’ve visited many cities, but Nottingham still managed to surprise me! This compact city is perfect for a relaxed one-day exploration. Here’s your Nottingham day trip guide 👇： 1️⃣ Hopkinson Just a 5-minute walk from the train station 🚉. A famous vintage store with three floors full of retro treasures 🧥👒. Great prices too—I bought two shirts for just £30! A must-visit for vintage lovers. 2️⃣ Nottingham Castle Free entry! 🏰 Walk up the path for a lovely view over the city. The vast green lawns and lounge chairs are perfect for a sunny day ☀️. Easy to take beautiful photos here—white outfits work especially well! 📸 3️⃣ Old Market Square A large square filled with pigeons 🕊️. Soak up the sun here—it’s a simple but mood-boosting spot. 4️⃣ Wollaton Hall & Deer Park A bit farther from the city—take bus #2 🚌. We were lucky: deer were gathered near the entrance! 🦌 There’s also a small family playground nearby. Kids swinging, adults chatting or walking dogs… a truly peaceful vibe. The hall itself stands grandly over the grasslands, straight out of a British period drama 🎬 (Note: closes after 4 PM—come early!). My favorite spot—highly recommended! 💚 5️⃣ Trent Building, University of Nottingham A friend who studied at UNNC wanted to see this iconic clock tower 🕍⏳. The campus is gorgeous—very green with hills, a lake, and plenty of wildlife 🦆🍃. Well worth a stroll. #StudyInUK #LifeInUK #Nottingham #UoN #SummerVibes #TravelGuide #DayTrip #Inspiration
