Trent Bridge visitor guide (Trent Bridge Cricket Ground, Nottinghamsire Cricket Club (CC))

Trent Bridge is a cricket ground situated in West Bridgford, Nottinghamshire, England, and is the home of Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club. As well as county games, the venue also hosts international cricket and Twenty20 Cup matches.

The venue is the world's third oldest major cricket ground and as such is steeped in history. It boasts a famous pavilion which has retained the same architectural features since its creation in 1889.

However, the stadium has undergone various redevelopments over the years. In 1998 the £7.2 million Radcliffe Road Cricket Centre was opened in 1998 and more recently the state of the art £1.9 million Fox Road stand was unveiled, which includes an eye-catching aircraft-wing roof.

If you have some time to spare during your trip, you may want to immerse yourself in the legend of Robin Hood.  Sherwood Forest is 20 miles north of the city, but an easier journey would be to the impressive Nottingham Castle, which offers a glimpse into a bygone era.
