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 />

F<strong>in</strong>ish: Ballroom <strong>in</strong> the Council House – Nott<strong>in</strong>gham<br />

Council House is the city hall of Nott<strong>in</strong>gham and will<br />

be welcom<strong>in</strong>g our walkers at the end of their 9 mile<br />

adventure around the city. The iconic 200 feet high<br />

dome that rises above the city is the centrepiece of<br />

the skyl<strong>in</strong>e and looks over the Old Market Square.<br />
