Review of Nottingham in general

Nottingham

Advantages: Vibrant Nightlife, Music Scene
Disadvantages: Lack of Green Space

Nottingham has a bad reputation, its nickname being 'Shottingham' after all. Its just like any city in terms of crime really though, and I definately feel safer here than in London (which is my home, I'm just at Uni here). I don't think it deserves its bad reputation. Nottingham is a decent shopping centre, having most big chain stores and a number of boutiques and more retro shops. There are two big shopping centres - the Victoria Centre, and Broadmarsh ...
...various other spectacles. Nottingham has a vibrant nightlife, countless bars and a great deal of clubs. The more up-market and trendy bars are in the 'lacemarket' area of the city. Having two large Universities - Nottingham Trent and Nottingham Uni, there are a great deal of students out on week day nights. The music scene in the city is good and growing. Nottingham has some excellent venues in Nottingham Arena (also an iceskating rink), Rock City, ...

Review of Nottingham (England)

The best action packed holiday!

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: see review

I go to Center Parcs every year with my family, if I had more money I would go more often than that as it is such a great change. My main reason for liking Center Parcs is that it's a holiday like no other. Usually when I go away I want to relax and find myself going on strolls and finding interesting places to eat and sit by the pool reading. At Center parcs though I am just the opposite. Center Parcs is an action-packed holiday. It is geared towards ...
...cycle ride from the main center early in the morning. I say early, it was about 9am, and then had an hour on the horses. It was very well organised with the staff being extremely equipped to size people up with the horse and the lead us down the fields. It was a very calming, laidback experience with the horses being veryw ell behaved and the scenery we went through being stunning. Swimming This is the only free activity here. It is not ...

Review of Center Parcs, Sherwood Forest

Nottingham now has trams!

Advantages: WE NOW HAVE TRAMS!!!!!
Disadvantages: THEY ONLY GO TO SOME PARTS OF NOTTINGHAM!

Getting around Nottingham has never been easier! There are now new trams that go to some parts of Notts but not all! The best way I would say to get around Notts is by bus and foot! But once you get into the town center to be honest most of what you need is within walkin distance! There is also a park and ride service avalible this is on the forest rec ground just as you come into Nottingham off of Mansfield road on the right hand side! You actually ...
...Victoria center carparks are most likely the most resonable and fletcher gate too! Oh also if you park on the street use the pay and display meters and dont be to late getting back to your car as the traffic wardens are ALWAYS about :-) Hope that has helped! ...

Review of Getting around in Nottingham

Our Center Parcs Experience

Advantages: fun, lots to do
Disadvantages: expensive!

I have been to Center Parcs several times but hadn't been for a while and since my last visit it has altered a little but still just as much fun as I remembered it to be. I thought I should review it as people who have never been are always asking me what it's like and whether it's worth it. The basic idea of Center Parcs is to have an active holiday where you try things you may never usually get round to doing without having to go far. All of the ...
...We went to the Nottingham Center Parcs and we found that the directions on the website were fairly easy to follow and so we found it without too much of a problem. Once we'd turned into the park we then drove down the long driveway until we reached the queue. Because you can only check in on Fridays and Mondays there is always quite a large queue of cars with everyone arriving all at once. We didn't have to wait too long though, I would say no more ...
