Nottingham Road in spring offers visitors the best of both worlds — fresh air, blooming gardens, and a warm countryside welcome.

Nottingham Road is also a favourite for unique local shopping — discover places like The Handmade Story, Shuttleworth Weaving, Chocolate Heaven, along with boutique stores, farm stalls, and art galleries filled with locally made treasures.

For those feeling more active, the area is renowned for fly fishing WildFly Outfitters, bird watching, hiking, trail running, mountain biking, horse riding, go-karting, or a round of golf at Gowrie Farm

“Farmers in Fashion” is Back!
It’s been far too long since the last Farmers in Fashion event, and the Nottingham Road Land Owners' Association(NRLA) is thrilled to bring back this wildly entertaining evening for the Notties community.
Get ready for a night of sartorial laughs and local flair as our very own gentlemen farmers strut the catwalk in the latest “trending” farm fashion. Expect good food, great company — and outfits not for the faint-hearted (you’ve been warned!).
All proceeds go toward supporting the NRLA security camera network, which continues to play a vital role in keeping Notties safe.
Book your spot with Margot: 082 882 9782.

How special is this rare sighting of an adult Aardvark, exploring the Nottingham Road area recently.
Notties is a biodiversity gem, thanks to its wide range of ecosystems.

While we previously highlighted the birdlife of the region (find the post here: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/19Cpaz5ffk/ here are some of the incredible mammals we’re lucky to share this land with:
Aardvark
Serval
Porcupine
Jackal
Oribi (an endangered species)
Duiker
Reedbuck
Bushbuck
Bushpig
Samango Monkey (a threatened species)
Genet
Scrub hare

Each of these creatures plays a role in the health of our local ecosystem — and sightings like this remind us just how important it is to protect their habitats. Look out for the nocturnal animals at dawn and dusk, especially in winter.
Thanks so much to Stuart Harley for the video.
