Nottingham has several fine parks for families who want to enjoy the wonders of nature during their stay, but Rufford Abbey Country Park still stands out. Open every day and with the gardens, park and abbey all completely free to visit, it makes for a wonderful family experience. Those who want to add a spot of adventure to the day will find the medieval monastery remains – believed to be haunted – a spine-tingling treat, while others will prefer the tranquil beauty of the lake and woodland walks. Rufford Abbey Country Park also has plenty of child-friendly attractions, including a Play Village and maze, plus the Crafty Critters animal trail.
