It is vital we make the most of this once-in-a-generation opportunity to promote our city on the national and international stage. That’s why we’ve developed a series of city stories with input from the people and businesses of the city – compelling narratives communicated in a clear way to the people we want to reach. Through these stories we can help bring prosperity to our city for many years to come. So that’s what this guide is all about.

  • Wilford Village and Clifton Bridge

    Wilford Village and Clifton Bridge

    Walk No 5: Wilford Village and Clifton Bridge 22nd May & 4th June 2020 The full walk is about 11km but can be shortened by returning from Wilford Village via the south side of the Trent. From Musters Road, the route follows Walk No3 (option A) along Eton and Rugby Roads, turning right at the road to Rushcliffe Arena and then down the path to the left just before the Arena car park, then right and next left towards the first pond. In early June, works were underway to build a new viewing platform and a new path around the back of the pond – always something new to see when out walking! Continue along the path, going right and left over the little bridge and then cross Compton Acres road to the second pond – and yes, I had to stop and see how the goslings (seen on Walk No3) were doing………they look very well and getting bigger! After Lyme Park, cross the tram line at Compton Acres tramstop and go straight over the recreation park to Ruddington Lane and turn right. A few houses along Ruddington Lane we come across another wild creature, asleep in a tree…… The father of the household told me that, some time ago, his children and friends had a party in the front garden, to which Tiger was invited. He stayed outside overnight and unfortunately there was heavy rain and Tiger was too wet to be allowed into the house – so he has stayed in the tree ever since. Continue along Ruddington Lane and cross Wilford Lane and onto Main Road, Wilford, and shortly we pass an interesting house – Hunters’ Farm, a Grade II Listed building which dates to 1724.
