Colwick race course is large it was built next to Colwick Park which includes lakes, woodland, Colwick Hall and the river Trent. This river runs straight through Nottingham. There is a lot of nature in the Colwick area. The most common is fox. Greenwood Dale Grant Maintained Technology School is nearly surrounded by woods and rabbits and magpies are common there.
Trees grow at a very fast rate so some have to be chopped down.
Many birds nest in the woods including woodpeckers and starlings. People could complain about the noise of passing trains going to and from other stations but they never have. I suppose they like the noise. The Old Market Square is situated in the centre of Nottingham with the Council House right next to it. My first impression of the Council House was that it reminded me of an old roman building.
