West Bridgford

West Bridgford sits on the south bank of the River Trent, directly opposite Nottingham city centre. It is the principal town in the Borough of Rushcliffe, with a town centre focused on Central Avenue and Bridgford Road where independent shops, cafes and pubs are clustered. Residential streets extend from the centre, served by local schools, health services and regular bus routes that cross Trent Bridge into the city. Riverside paths run along the river and provide walking and cycling routes close to the town centre.

Sporting and community facilities shape daily life in West Bridgford. Trent Bridge cricket ground, on the river edge, stages county and international matches and influences local timetables on match days. Public green space around Bridgford Park and the riverside offers space for informal sport and events, while a leisure centre and community halls host classes and clubs. The mix of retail on Central Avenue and the riverside location give West Bridgford a clear local identity within Rushcliffe.
