What’s happening in Aspley and Broxtowe Estate
Broxtowe Country Park
Broxtowe Country Park is a large, 46 hectare site, between Aspley, Broxtowe Estate and Nuthall. It has a mix of woodland and open green spaces, as well as sports facilities. Phoenix Adventure Centre - a busy local play centre - adjoins the park, and it’s a short walk to one of the many entrance points from the surrounding housing estates.
Broxtowe Country Park is managed by Nottingham City Council.
Quarry Holes
Quarry Holes was once, well, a quarry! It has now become an urban woodland, with areas of wildflower meadow. Locally often called “Tilbury Woods”, the reserve is a great place to escape away from busy roads.
Quarry Holes is managed by Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust on behalf of Nottingham City Council.
