Nottingham has many fine free green-spaces for families to explore, but Nottingham Arboretum is one of its best examples. It stands as the very first public park ever created in the city, and was originally intended to combine botanical displays with relaxation areas. Located right in the centre of the city, Nottingham Arboretum covers 7.5 hectares and is open all year round, boasting beautiful dell and healing gardens. Anyone choosing to visit will relish the glorious gardens, the Main and Upper Aviaries, with their varieties of rare and exotic birds, and the refreshments on offer at Arboretum Manor.
