Overview

This walk starts on Market Square at the Lions, and goes through the Nottingham Cemetery,  across to the Arboretum, then on to Sneinton to Green's Windmill.  Interesting aspects of history can be seen along the route including seeing the birthplace of William Booth, who started the Salvation Army.  We will have a break at the Arboretum and lunch near the Windmill, then come back through the Avenues which is now the Creative Quarter.
