About

Woodthorpe ward is a residential area situated on the western edge of Gedling Borough. It is primarily composed of housing estates built in the mid-20th century, featuring a mix of semi-detached and detached homes.

Local amenities are centred along Arnot Hill Road, which hosts several convenience shops, a pharmacy, and a couple of pubs serving the immediate community.
