Notcar one starts in Nottingham town centre and zig zags through the shopping area towards Sneinton. Then you follow the main road through the residential area towards the start of the section through Colwick woods. The footpath through the woods is sometimes muddy and sometimes a bit hard to follow. The pictures posted by another user are really helpful to guide you through the woods. There are stunning views to the right (south) over the Trent valley and the woods are picturesque. After another suburban section the path through Midland Woods takes you to Carlton Station.
This route is very similar to Notcar two, but this one avoids the Sneinton Greenway section along the route of a mineral line railway, which can be secluded and feels quite lonely.

Report

I walked from Nottingham to Carlton. The route follows streets for a short time before heading up into woods and parkland (where most of the walk remains). Another short street walk and you will be walking along the train line before finding yourself in Carlton. There are steps and cycle barriers which makes it a problem for wheeled users but an unexpected pleasure of a route.

Report

We walked this route from Carlton to Nottingham. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would, especially the section through Colwick Wood as it felt like being away from it all rather than in the middle of a city. We didn't meet another person on that section even on a summer Sunday afternoon with good weather. There are good views across the racecourse from the woods. Although the first part of the route is on a smooth path beside the railway and the route at the Nottingham end is all paved, the section through Colwick Woods includes several sets of steps and rough paths so the route would not be suitable for wheelchairs or even bikes.
