Cavendish

Cavendish ward lies in the northern part of the borough of Gedling, primarily encompassing the residential area of Mapperley. The landscape is characterised by suburban housing, ranging from inter-war semis to more modern developments, set along a network of quiet, leafy streets. Local shopping parades on Plains Road and Mapperley Plains provide essential services, creating a self-contained community atmosphere within the wider Nottingham area.

The ward's topography is notably hilly, offering elevated views across the surrounding region. A significant local feature is the presence of the Mapperley Hospital site, a historic institution whose grounds influence the area's green character. Recreational space is provided by parks like Coronation Park, while the ward is well-served by bus routes along its main roads, connecting residents to Arnold and Nottingham city centre.
