🇬🇧 Revisiting Wollaton Hall in Nottingham

✅ Nottingham is one of the oldest cities in the UK. Every time I return to England, I make sure to meet up with my decade-long bestie here. 💌 This time, I brought Qu Ge to Wollaton Hall and Deer Park. I fell in love with this estate two years ago – vast green fields, freely roaming deer herds, and it’s even a filming location for The Dark Knight Rises 🦇. On sunny days, you can grab a coffee ☕, sit on a park bench, and lose yourself for hours. 🌟 Wollaton Hall was built in 1588 by Sir Francis Willoughby, a wealthy landowner and coal magnate. This extravagant Elizabethan mansion now houses the Nottingham Natural History Museum. Last time it was closed, but this time Qu Ge and I were lucky to visit 🏛️. Though compact, the museum is packed with exhibits – specimens of land, sea, and air animals, full of fascinating scientific knowledge. Qu Ge was totally absorbed and spent two hours exploring 🦉🐠🐾. Perfect for kids his age! 🦌 Of course, the other highlight is the peaceful, undisturbed deer herds 🦌. They even cross the roads freely – cars have to yield! You can get quite close for photos, but always keep a safe distance. 🌳 As we left today, sunlight sparkled on the leaves and grass 🌿💫, and dewdrops shimmered like tiny crystals – absolutely magical. 🏠 Nottingham Natural History Museum: Opening Hours: 11 AM - 4 PM Ticket Price: Free 🆓 Includes a gift shop and café. Totally worth multiple visits – Qu Ge already said he wants to go back! #ExploreNature #Parks #Nottingham #UoN #UK #TravelUK #FamilyFriendly #OutdoorAdventure
