Welcome to Bestwood Village

Bestwood Village is a small village located in the county of Nottinghamshire, England. It is situated approximately 4 miles north of Nottingham city centre and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village has a rich history, dating back to the 12th century when it was known as Bestwood Park. Today, it is a thriving community with a range of amenities and attractions for visitors to enjoy.

One of the main attractions in Bestwood Village is Bestwood Country Park. This 650-acre park is a haven for wildlife and offers visitors the chance to explore woodland, heathland, and grassland habitats. There are several walking and cycling trails throughout the park, as well as a lake where visitors can fish or hire a boat. The park also has a visitor centre, which provides information about the park's history and wildlife, as well as a café and gift shop.

Another popular attraction in Bestwood Village is the Bestwood Winding Engine House. This historic building was once part of the Bestwood Colliery, which was one of the largest coal mines in the country. Today, the engine house has been restored and is open to the public as a museum. Visitors can learn about the history of the colliery and see the winding engine in action. The museum also has a café and gift shop, as well as a range of events and activities throughout the year.
