Eight miles from Nottingham city centre, Cotgrave is a small town once centred on the Cotgrave Colliery. Now the former mining area has been converted into a large country park, and a new housing development has also been built nearby. Cotgrave Country Park incorporates over 200 acres of land, and visitors looking for a peaceful stroll can walk alongside the restored Grantham Canal.
