Starting at the Lakeside Arts Centre, on a beautiful evening, Hilary led us on this well-researched, 5-mile walk exploring the several and varied gardens of the University and the broad expanse of Wollaton Park.
The tranquility of the gardens and grounds of the University contrasted sharply with the noise from the 3000 athletes taking part in the European Touch Rugby Championships who joined our walk as they left the concert in Wollaton Park.
For a comprehensive description (and a more detailed map) go to the University Gardens Guide.
