Best Dessert Places in Nottingham
"One of the best photography spots in Nottingham is the Wollaton Park. There are deer walking around there (in a special section) and if you bring a good zoom lens, you can take some incredible shots, especially in Autumn. As we visited Nottingham in May, it was also very nice, green and pretty and I took a lot of photos in Wollaton Park."
"Wollaton Hall is an Elizabethan Manor with huge gardens and is a short bus ride from the city centre. Inside the house is a stuffed animal exhibit (quite creepy but fascinating) and the gardens and lake are a perfect location for a long romantic walk or even a picnic."
"The Nottingham Contemporary, situated in Nottingham’s old Lace Market district, is one of the largest contemporary art centres in the UK. The centre is home to an eclectic array of art exhibitions, film screenings and talks from prestigious figures across its 3,000 square metre floor area. There is also an elegant artist-designed café to rest tired feet."
"In 2009, the city opened one of Britain’s largest contemporary art centres. This is set in the Lave Market area, and there’s a small homage to Nottingham’s lace-making heritage in the traditional lace pattern on the facade. The gallery is free to enter and puts on up to five contemporary art exhibitions each year."
"Situated at over 1,500 feet above sea level, Flash is characterised by its weather-worn cottages by the side of the A53 Leek to Buxton road. This exposed high altitude offers far reaching views of the surrounding moors and crags, and the sound of a wide variety of birdlife fills the air. Located four miles south-west of Buxton on the side of Oliver Hill, Flash lies close to Axe Edge which is an area of gritstone moorland, as well as the source of no less than five rivers, being the Dane, Goyt, Wye, Dove and Manifold."
"Climb up to Hen’s Cloud, go past the mysterious Doxey Pool and then across the Roaches to bag the Roaches trig!. The Roaches is a popular spot with climbers and rock enthusiasts. It is thought that wallabies (released from a zoo) roam the area, but we didn’t manage to spot any, so it may be a legend."
"The Roaches is located above Leek and Tittesworth Reservoir and is loved by hikers and climbers alike. The impressively rugged and steep gritstone ridge is home to mythical mermaids and 15 metre natural gritstone clefts."
"We spent a beautiful weekend in the Roaches and it is the best place for walking enthusiasts in the Peaks!. There are also some beautiful rock formations."
"Peak Wildlife Park is a fabulous option for those looking for a fun day out when visiting this area. The emphasis is on the animals, but there is a secure outdoor play area and Jungle Bounce with a huge, bouncy castle – a theme park for little ones!. There is a large sandpit and an indoor soft play area with two large jungle-themed levels, an array of slides, a ball pool and a viewing area from which to sit and watch the Asian short-clawed otters play."
"This small zoo is a sure fire hit with younger peak district visitors!. Highlights include walk through enclosures where you can get up close to wallabies!"
"I love Bestwood Country Park because of the variety of beautiful landscape and wildlife that lives here. It also provides a glimpse into Nottinghamshire’s industrial heritage, as it was once home to one of the busiest coal mines in the UK. The 650 acres of parkland are free to visit and the car park is also free to use."
"Slug and Lettuce is one of the most Instagrammable bars in the city, with wisteria-adorned booths, gorgeous neon lights and a sun-soaked roof terrace"
"Hoar Cross Hall Spa Resort is a Grade II listed stately home retreat in Staffordshire. At this unique sanctuary, friendly faces are assured, kicking off your shoes is expected and total relaxation is the order of the day. Enjoy exquisite plates of food delivered with style, flair and imagination."
"If you like to have plenty of options on the menu Kaspa’s is the place to go, the sundaes alone come in 23 sensational flavours from classics like The Screwball (Classic Raspberry Ripple and Cherry Ice Cream Scoops, topped off with fresh Vanilla ice cream, Raspberry sauce and a gumball hidden away) to the hipper Pistachio Nut Delight, Hot Fudge Sundae and Coconut Haven and all taste sublime. The menu also has gelatos, waffles, crepes, cakes, milkshakes, smoothies and sundaes, don’t even get us started on the variety of flavours they come in."
"For simple tastes, there’s the traditional crepe with a sprinkle of sugar or Sicilian zest, drizzled with lemon juice. But for a mega blow-out, you can’t go wrong with a White Choco–Berry Crepe, a combo of melted white Belgian chocolate flakes and raspberry and white chocolate sauce or a Bananaberry Crepe with banana, strawberry and chocolate."
"Kaspa’s is a dessert diner in Nottingham city centre, serving everything from waffles to sundaes. It’s designed in classic diner style making it a great place to get some cute instagrams with your date."
