Peacock Lake Glamping

A well-maintained path runs along this stretch of the river Trent, opening up lots of opportunities for scenic cycling and walking from base. Other pleasant strolling spots such as Gedling Country Park (10 minutes' drive) and Cotgrave Country Park (10 minutes) are within easy reach too, as are the serene surrounds of Holme Pierrepont Country Park (20 minutes), home to the ever-popular National Water Sports Centre. Getting into the centre of Nottingham to see its castle or check out the shops is simple enough as well, as Peacock Lake Glamping is just over 20 minutes' drive from the city centre. Alternatively, you can get there by bus from the village in about half an hour, or by train in about a quarter of an hour from Lowdham (connected to the village by an A road, but walking or cycling to the station is safe enough thanks to a segregated dual-use path). Other options include Newark (30 minutes), a pretty market town with museums, monuments and lots of independent shops, and Southwell (15 minutes), where there's a golf course, racecourse and handsome 900-year-old minster to explore.
