Victoria Embankment is a grand, landscaped park alongside the mighty River Trent in Nottingham. It's the place to take all the family for a Sunday afternoon promenade, and then reward with a well-deserved ice-cream from the little kiosk near the bridge.
Either take a boat trip or use the river viewing platform to watch the boats, while soaking in the historic Trent Bridge. Yes, it's a real bridge, not just the very famous cricket grounds.
It's a super place to feed the ducks and geese or just sit and relax at one of the many local pubs en-route. You'll even find a great play area for the little ones at Memorial Gardens on the west side of the river.
