Bradmore Moor is a picturesque area situated in Nottinghamshire, England. It is located near the village of Bradmore, approximately six miles south of Nottingham city center. This area is renowned for its natural beauty, featuring both downs and moorland landscapes.

The moorland in Bradmore Moor is characterized by its vast expanses of open grasslands, heather, and gorse. The terrain is undulating, with some areas covered in peat and wetlands. This unique environment supports a diverse range of plant and animal species, including various heathland birds, such as curlews and skylarks.

In addition to the moorland, Bradmore Moor also boasts downs, which are areas of rolling hills covered in grass and scattered shrubs. These downs provide breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, making it a popular spot for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers.

The area is well-suited for hiking and walking, offering a network of footpaths that wind through the moorland and downs. Visitors can explore the bridleways and enjoy the tranquility of the countryside, far from the hustle and bustle of urban life.

Bradmore Moor is also significant from a historical perspective. It is believed that the area has been inhabited since ancient times, with evidence of Bronze Age settlements and burial mounds. The moorland and downs have remained relatively untouched, preserving their natural beauty and historical integrity.

Overall, Bradmore Moor is a captivating destination that offers a unique combination of moorland and downs landscapes. Its natural beauty, diverse wildlife, and historical significance make it a must-visit location for those seeking a peaceful getaway in the heart of Nottinghamshire.

St Mary's Church, Bunny The present church dates from the 14th century. It was restored in 1718 for Sir Thomas Parkyns of Bunny Hall. There were also later restorations in 1890–1891 and 1911. The initial 14th-century build was temporarily halted by the spread of the plague into the village in 1350. The present building has developed over several centuries and is now Grade I listed.

Church Street, Bunny Recreating this 'First' for the square <a title="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4252" href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4252">Link</a> . It turns out to be like one of the 'spot the changes' puzzles. I've spotted 5, none of which are very obvious, apart from the boarded up window on the Old School.

Puddle on the path The same location as <a title="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1335560" href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1335560">Link</a> when there was less water around. This is the access to the Silver Seal Mine entrance <a title="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7043112" href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7043112">Link</a> , but is also a public footpath, forming part of the Notts Wolds Way. I was wearing good walking shoes, not wellies, so fortunate that the 'dry' land at the side was accessible.

Gateway to the Silver Seal Mine The public footpath diverts off the mine track through a kissing gate onto Wysall Lane.
