Highfields Park
Walk beside the boating lake through mature trees and designed planting, with the university skyline above the water and play space for a slower afternoon.

Keep exploring Nottingham with our travel partners.
Highfields provides a landscape experience beside the university rather than another tour of campus buildings. The lake gives the walk a clear focus, while bridges, water features and changing views reward an unhurried circuit. It combines naturally with Lakeside Arts when you want both outdoor time and an exhibition.
What to look for
Paths follow the shore of the boating lake.
Mature trees and ornamental planting frame the park.
A cascade and stepping stones form part of the lake landscape.
Useful to know
Keep the park walk separate from any boating session.
Combine the lake circuit with a Lakeside Arts exhibition.
