WOODBOROUGH
Woodborough is a highly regarded village set in relatively unspoilt undulating Nottinghamshire countryside some seven miles, or so to the northeast of Nottingham. The village offers a useful range of amenities - which include two village inns, a village hall, a tennis club, an ‘active’ church, a village store – post office, health club and a popular primary school.
Close to hand there are more extensive amenities and professional services in Arnold and on Mapperley Plains and from the village there is direct road access across Mapperley Plains into Nottingham centre.
In turn, the surrounding regional centres of Southwell, Newark on Trent (with fast main line rail access into London Kings Cross), Mansfield and Grantham (with A1 connection southbound) are readily accessible from the house - as is the M1 Motorway network and the East Midlands Airport.
In recent years A46 dual carriageway road improvements, which effectively link Lincoln to Leicester and the M1 Motorway (S), have improved commuting convenience from Woodborough (via the East Bridgford junction) to surrounding population centres. The village is very much on the map for the commuter seeking a rural village lifestyle, whilst remaining conveniently placed for daily traveling.
