You can get into the Newstead Abbey grounds free from three different directions if you don't mind a (very pleasant) couple miles of a walk, Thanks for the heads-up to Catfan.

Michael Booth 7,364 Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Stonebridge City Farm, two minutes from Sneinton Leisure Center on Bath Street, has a great cafe which sells hot dinners and snacks. There's lots of animals, birds and things for the kids to see. You can also buy plants, vegetables and other stuff there. It's also free to go in and a nice day out. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
