We’ll put this out there straight away - Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire both offer incredible natural beauty.
However, we here at Nottingham World think that Nottinghamshire sometimes gets overlooked.
Derbyshire’s biggest selling point is undoubtedly the Peak District- and rightly so - but Nottinghamshire has plenty of spots which are equally as beautiful.
From the grandeur of Wollaton Hall and Thoresby Hall to natural beauty spots such as Attenborough Nature Reserve, there’s no reason why our county shouldn’t be held in as high regard as its neighbour.
With this in mind, we’ve picked out 18 spots which prove that Nottinghamshire is more beautiful than Derbyshire and the Peak District.
