Nottingham Arboretum: Free guided wildlife walk around Nottingham’s ‘Peter Pan’ park this spring

Nature lovers are invited to take part in a free guided wildlife walk around a famous Nottingham park this spring. 

On Friday, March 22, park rangers will take visitors around the Arboretum as part of a one-off ‘wellbeing walk’. 

Knowledgeable rangers will help visitors identify wildlife and flowers around the park as spring arrives.

The walk has been organised by Nottingham City Council’s Parks and Open Spaces department and is intended to help people maintain their physical and mental health. 

Nottingham’s oldest public park, the Arboretum was opened in May 1852 and many of the original trees remain in situ today. 

The park is widely said to have been the inspiration for J.M. Barrie’s Neverland, where Peter Pan, Captain Hook and Tinker Bell live. 

Those on the wellbeing walk can see for themselves from where the inspiration came from and decide if Neverland did plant its magical roots in Nottingham. 

The tour will take place between 10.30am and 12pm on March 22, with participants asked to meet at the Arboretum bandstand.
