Wollaton Hall's ornate Elizabethan front with corner towers, across a wide lawn under a pale sky

Wollaton Hall and Deer Park

Wollaton Road, three miles west of the city centre

Address: Wollaton Hall, Wollaton Road, Nottingham NG8 2AE
  • Outdoors
  • Cheap and cheerful
  • Culture

Walk among the red and fallow deer in the big park round Wollaton Hall, an Elizabethan mansion you might recognise as Wayne Manor from The Dark Knight Rises.

Why it's a good date: The park is free to walk in, and the deer are the stars, especially in the autumn rut. Look round the hall if you've time, and bring a picnic for the lake.
