Forest Fields

About

Forest Fields is a residential area located just north of the city centre, characterised by its dense grid of Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing.

The area functions as a practical, lived-in neighbourhood with local convenience stores and takeaways serving the community.

The geography is gently sloping, with the grounds of the Forest Recreation Area forming a significant open green space to the south. This large common land, historically used for horse racing and the original Nottingham Goose Fair, provides sports pitches, a playground, and walking paths.
