Nottingham - Highfields Park & Uni

Before you set off on your awesome adventure to explore Nottingham, there are a few things you need to know...

The route isn’t friendly for wheelchair users and pushchairs due to steps and steep hills.

Bring your four-legged friends along! This is a dog-friendly Trail.

There is a car park and free on-street parking near the Trail start point, but these fill up very quickly. We recommend trying Nottingham’s fantastic park and ride service, using the tram to reach your quest. The closest tram stop for Lakeside Arts is the University of Nottingham tram stop on the Toton Lane-Hucknall line.

There are some fantastic events in Nottingham’s calendar, all of which are great times to visit this beautiful city. While they shouldn’t disrupt your quest, other than potentially extending your travel time, we do recommend double checking that there aren’t any events in Highfields Park that could obstruct any clues. If you would like further information about event dates, please contact Nottingham Tourism Centre.

There are public toilets available towards the beginning of the Trail and the route passes a couple of refreshment stops along the way. Pack supplies and enjoy a picnic in the park as you go.

Looking for more things to do in Nottingham? Make a day of it with a game of adventure golf, or even foot golf, right in the park. You could even venture into the city centre and challenge yourself to one of the other Nottingham Trails in our collection!
