Where to stay in Sherwood Rise
Where the beds are, and what that means for the visit.
Carrington and Sherwood hold the nearer beds. Sherwood Rise itself is streets of houses, with the Church of St John the Evangelist at the Carrington edge and both St Andrew's Church and St Columba's Church among the parishes credited to it, so the hotel search moves down into Nottingham. Forest Fields and Basford close the other two sides.

About Sherwood Rise
What are the main landmarks in Sherwood Rise?
Three churches, and little else listed. The Church of St John the Evangelist stands over in Carrington, while St Andrew's Church and St Columba's Church complete the named buildings tied to Sherwood Rise, which leaves the record short of museums, monuments or heritage houses. Housing fills the rest of it.
Basford, Forest Fields and Sherwood press in on the other sides.
What is the history of Sherwood Rise?
Nobody chartered Sherwood Rise, and no year marks its start. Sherwood Rise reaches the record as a residential area of Nottingham rather than as a settlement with its own beginning, and the dates that shaped it belong to the city and to the parishes around it. Carrington lies on one side.
What the quarter carries instead are churches, among them the Church of St John the Evangelist at Carrington, St Andrew's Church and St Columba's Church.
Where is Sherwood Rise?
Carrington, Basford, Forest Fields and Sherwood ring Sherwood Rise, a built-up wedge of Nottingham with no open ground of its own.
