The Arboretum is a small park in central Nottingham not too far away from the Victoria Centre - a perfect place to relax and while away an hour or two. It's not huge in area, but still manages to pack quite a lot into a small space. The Arboretum pub is no more, unfortunately, but that still leaves the small lake (more of a pond really), aviaries and gardens to explore. Popular with students and the occasional dishevelled person talking to themselves, the Arboretum has character and it's wonderful that a green space like this still exists in the city centre. Events are held occasionally. read more
