Broxtowe Country Park

Broxtowe Country Park has got it all. It’s a large open space combining woodland, grassland and even play areas. This makes it a great place to spot many different plants, insects and birds.

Wander around the park and you’ll find the ancient woodland with wildflowers including native bluebells and Dog’s mercury. You may notice it smells a little garlicy – Ramsons, more commonly know as wild garlic, grows among the trees here as well.

If you are lucky enough, you might hear or see a Green Woodpecker amongst the trees.
The twigs will snap under your feet in the woodland, but in the meadows the soft grasses will lap around your shoes. The open large meadow is also home to many types of wild flowers and insects.

Spread over 46 hectares it’s so big, you rarely bump into anyone else. It’s one of the rare parks that really has the feeling of being in the middle of the countryside, while still being in the City.
