Bestwood, Top Valley & Rise Park Walking & Cycling Guide Bestwood, Top Valley & Rise Park KING COAL KING COAL “Two miners having finished work for the day mounted bicycles and, lurching forward round the angle of the gatepost, vanished into a little lane leading into the woodlands. I decided to follow them and was glad I did, for the scenery of the district is indeed enchanting” Alex Wells, Nottingham Journal, 1934 Cycling in Bestwood, c. 1880* The two most distinctive aspects of Bestwood are its royal associations and urban development from a colliery company village. But it also plays a part in the incredible northern growth of the city – onto an area which had been mostly farmers’ fields – throughout the twentieth century. Bestwood is so big that it becomes a difficult area to define, with a village, two Date stone plaques, Bestwood village council estates and a pumping station sharing the same name and some distance apart. The old maps reveal that Bestwood has always been huge, following the same contours since it was defined as a royal hunting park in the Middle Ages, stretching from Goosedale Ponds in the north, to Arnold Road in the south, and east to west between Bestwood Lane/ Hucknall Rd and Mansfield Rd. Bestwood takes a starring role in various episodes of royal history, from the Normans to the Stuarts. The Dukes of St Albans descended from the latter family which, in the seventeenth century, was granted Bestwood as its ancestral home. Emmanuel Church* The 10th Duke took a particular interest in the site, building the fabulous Bestwood Lodge in the 1860s, which became frequented by the rich and powerful of late Victorian England. The following decade a very different Bestwood emerged: an industrial village planned around a coal mine and ironworks, with competing railway The view at Bestwood Country Park today lines tripping over themselves to get here. By the end of Victoria’s reign the city was edging ever nearer with the building of Bestwood Pumping Station and the City Hospital. Yet it wasn’t until the 1930s that the first council housing emerged. The subsequent housing estates reveal the decade by decade changes in everyday life throughout that long century. 1. Royalty & Aristocracy here only 3 days before the Battle of Bosworth. In a sense the Woodside Riding School has revived this equestrian tradition at Bestwood (1). Bestwood’s next and greatest feature within royal history did not emerge until the late seventeenth century, when the playboy king, Bestwood Lodge* Charles II, granted the lodge and grounds to his beloved mistress After the Norman conquest, Nell Gwyn. “Poor Nelly” was the Bestwood (forming part of mother of his illegitimate son and Sherwood Forest), became subject Charles was concerned enough to to Forest Law – an area vigorously endow him with a stable income protected by royal officials for and social position, entitling him both deer and timber.

Growth of the City Postwar council housing at Bestwood Park The City acquired Bestwood fields in the 1930s and spacious ‘garden city’ style houses were erected at Bestwood Estate (21).
