At the eastern end of the Trent River trails, there’s some very scenic running around the Colwick Marina and a series of lagoons. These wide, gravel paths feature wonderful water views. It’s also fun to watch the whitewater races at the marina. A loop of the trails is about 3.5 miles. One can add ~2 miles by running on the trails around the Nottingham Racecourse and on Racecourse Rd.
For a longer run, join the River Trent trails on the south bank headed west toward Nottingham.

3.5 mile loop, with additional options around the Racecourse and along the River Trent.
There are many miles of paths along the Trent River, mostly on the south bank. These are lovely trials with nice water views, and several bridges allowing for shorter and longer loops.
Toward the western end of the Trent River trails, scenic trails at the Attenborough Nature Reserve wind for 4.5 miles around the River Trent and a series of canals and adjacent lagoons. Great water & wildlife views.
Wonderful running on the grounds of this significant English manor: tree-lined allées, landscaped gardens, open meadows, and a small lake. Can combine with University of Nottingham grounds & Highfields Park.
See the Robin Hood statue, Nottingham Castle, Arboretum, parks, and other key sites in this 5-mile 'runseeing' tour of historic Nottingham! Note, it's hilly!
