Can anyone recommend any nice places to live within commuting access (train) to Nottingham? Somewhere leafy, with things to do (eg stables, rowing, restaurants, bars). Thanks!

How long a commute are you willing to do? Do you have access to a car to get to train? Xxx0

I live on the border with nottinghamshire, there's plenty of places off the robin hood line, see here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin_Hood_Line although there is some you wouldn't want to live in!!
Unfortunately the leafier the places the more stables there are but less restaurants and bars(just quaint village pubs).2 kWp SEbE , 2kWp SSW & 2.5kWp NWbW.....in sunny North Derbyshire17.7kWh Givenergy battery added(for the power hungry kids)0 -
Do a Google search for Creswell.
Right on the Notts, Derbyshire border.
On the Robin Hood line.
Very green and horsey.0 -
Would think West Bridgford side of town would give you all that. Surrounding areas are very nice - Edwalton, Holme Pierrepont, Gamston. Daughter lives in West Bridgford and loves all the bars etc.0

I also thought of the West Bridgford area for the leafy aspect, bars and other activities.
However it isn't on a train line so they would be reliant on the bus and depending where in Nottm they are working it might mean several buses.Kate short for Bob.

I would seriously look in the area near the train line between Nottingham and Lincoln, there's plenty of nice villages with railways stations such as Burton Joyce, Lowdham, Thurgarton, Bleasby, Fiskerton, Rolleston, Collingham, Swinderby - most of these are quite affluent and popular with horsey types. There's regular trains to Nottingham and Lincoln and a daily direct service to London stops at some of these villages. Newark is roughly equidistant to Nottingham and Lincoln and has nice cafe's, restaurants and shops.

Yes true. My daughter lives very near a bus stop so it only takes a few minutes to get into town.
I much prefer N and NE of the city. Villages of Lowdham, Caythorpe, Fiskerton etc. Not many bars but a local train station into Nottingham. Southwell and Newark have lots of nice bars and restaurants.0 -

Beat me to it. Fantastic horseriding. Wouldn't want to be anywhere else and I just love Newark and Lincoln for shopping. Haven't been into Nottingham for years.0 -

The only thing you need to watch is the risk of flooding.If you go down to the woods today you better not go alone.0
