The route:<br />
Start: Maggie's Nott<strong>in</strong>gham – Built <strong>in</strong> 2011 and<br />
designed by Piers Gough, the Centre appears almost<br />
to float among the trees, which shelter it from the<br />
ma<strong>in</strong> build<strong>in</strong>g of Nott<strong>in</strong>gham City Hospital, and its<br />
sense of symmetry and shape create a sense of<br />
space and balance.<br />
New Art exchange – our first stop is a contemporary<br />
visual arts space <strong>in</strong> Nott<strong>in</strong>gham that celebrates the<br />
region's cultural richness and diversity. It is the largest<br />
gallery <strong>in</strong> the UK dedicated to culturally diverse<br />
contemporary visual arts.<br />
Nott<strong>in</strong>gham Castle – situated on a high rock,<br />
Nott<strong>in</strong>gham Castle commands spectacular views<br />
over the city and once rivalled the great castles of<br />
W<strong>in</strong>dsor and the Tower of London. Its history is<br />
chequered with sieges, murders and <strong>in</strong>trigue.<br />
Trent Bridge – the world’s oldest test match venue.<br />
Trent Bridge's serene pavilion, kept with<strong>in</strong> the<br />
architectural parameters of its 1889 foundation, is<br />
thought of as one of the most renowned trademarks<br />
of cricket because it faces the wicket at an angle.<br />
