About Ruddington

Ruddington is a large village 5 miles south of Nottingham with a population of over 7000 people.

Nearby is the very popular Rushcliffe Country Park and the Nottingham Transport Heritage Centre. On the first Saturday of every month there is a bustling Village Market on the green. The village centre is home to several cafes and shops, and the village boasts many pubs. Ruddington was en-route for the Tour of Britain in 2020 which saw the whole village getting behind the cyclists.
