The city has a great environment for its residents. The stunning campus at the University of Nottingham and the city parks such as the Arboretum that provide open spaces are a great alternative to the bustling city streets of areas like Hockley. From the buzz of metropolitan life to the beauty of the surrounding countryside, this is an environment that creates a space for inspiration and a space for relaxation.
