Nottinghamshire is home to many world famous landmarks and boasts more sports facilities per head than anywhere else in Europe. It's also where you'll find one of the oldest Test grounds, and finest cricket venues in the world, Trent Bridge.
As a premier venue for world cricket, Trent Bridge has been hosting The Ashes Test Series for many years, more recently when England famously regained the urn on Trent Bridge's soil, claiming the victory with a hero's performance from local player Stuart Broad.
Trent Bridge has played host to Cricket World Cup matches, with England, Australia, India, Pakistan, New Zealand, the West Indies and Bangladesh all playing and one of cricket's hostoric grounds.
If you're looking for places to stay or bars and restaurants near the ground, or are interested in what else you can get up to while you're in Nottingham, be sure to take a look at the boxes below, under the 'in this section' heading. There's also information on getting to and from Trent Bridge.
In 2016, the famous cricket ground hosted a pair of thrilling Royal London One Day Internationals between England and Sri Lanka, and England and Pakistan. England struck a six off the last ball to claim a nail-biting tie against Sri Lanka, before re-writing the record books as they achieved a World Record ODI score of 444-3 - casting Pakistan aside in brutal style.
