High Acre
Hill, Mountain in Nottinghamshire Broxtowe
England
High Acre
High Acre, Nottinghamshire, is a small hill located in the rural county of Nottinghamshire in the East Midlands region of England. Despite its name, it is not a mountain but rather a modest hill that rises to an elevation of approximately 90 meters (295 feet) above sea level. The hill is situated in the southern part of the county, close to the border with Leicestershire.
High Acre is characterized by its gentle slopes and is covered in lush green vegetation, predominantly consisting of grass and scattered trees. The hill offers panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, with rolling farmland stretching out in all directions. The top of the hill provides a vantage point from which visitors can enjoy breathtaking vistas of the picturesque Nottinghamshire landscape.
Although not a popular tourist destination, High Acre attracts some nature enthusiasts and hikers who appreciate its tranquil setting and the opportunity for leisurely walks. The hill is also home to a variety of wildlife, including numerous bird species that can be spotted in the trees and fields surrounding the area.
Access to High Acre is relatively easy, with a network of footpaths and trails leading up to the hill. The site is easily reachable by car, with ample parking available nearby. While the hill does not offer any amenities or visitor facilities, its natural beauty and peaceful atmosphere make it a pleasant spot for a quiet retreat or a peaceful picnic overlooking the Nottinghamshire countryside.

Inham Nook Housing Estate
A surprisingly large estate of social housing on the hill at Chilwell. Now rather better served by public transport than it was at the time of photo as the NET tram passes through the estate.
Former cinema
Following a reopening in 2005 which proved unsuccessful, this old cinema has been unused for many years. The last film posters (which were in place until quite recently) were for "The Woman in Black" from 2012. A cannabis farm was discovered a year or two after that.
Redevelopment of the site has now begun.
Mixed woodland
As the debate over HS2 goes back and forth who knows what the future holds for this patch of nature.
Station Road

The River Erewash near Toton
For much of its length the River Erewash forms the boundary between Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire. Here the river bends sharply to the left but the county boundary follows the relief channel straight ahead.
