Car hire in Mansfield will give you a very convenient way of touring the town and visiting the tourist attractions that you’ll be able to find in and outside in wider Nottinghamshire. For starters, you can drive a short way from the centre to see Hardwick Hall, a truly authentic Elizabethan country estate and mansion, built in 1597. Further out of time is one of the most historical sites in town, in commemoration of the city’s early industrial age heritage, the Pleasley Pit. Naturally you can’t visit this Nottinghamshire town without going to Sherwood Forest Country Park, which was the purported hideout of the legendary Robin Hood.
To reach Mansfield by air you’ll have to fly to East Midlands Airport located some 22 miles from the town itself. Here you’ll have no trouble locating the particular Mansfield car hire operator you’ve booked with. All your usual choices are represented there, including Sixt, Europcar, National and Enterprise. All of these operators are based in the terminal building itself, with their car parks just a short walk from the terminal exit, right across the road in the general airport parking area.
There isn’t lot of dense traffic during the day in Mansfield, so you can drive around the streets pretty easily. It’s foot traffic that you’ll really have to watch out for. A large proportion of youth make up the general population, and they tend to hang around in the streets around the centre of town. This is particularly the case in summer, when the weather draws more people outdoors. On Friday and Saturday nights the centre of the city can get even more congested, so it’s best to park a bit away from that part of town and join the pedestrians.
Rush hour in the mornings is a combination of business commuters and parents taking their children to school. This can start quite early for the latter reason, so plan for traffic to start building from about 07:30 and lasting till around 09:00. The peak period for school drop-offs is between 08:00 and 09:00. In the late afternoons you won’t have the school traffic to worry about, but the traffic gets just as busy peaking at around 16:30. During these rush hours it’s wise to avoid certain roads in and snaking through the city, like Bath Lane. The loop road where the A60 becomes the A6009 and then Chesterfield Road South. Also watch out for where the A6191 and Rosemary Street intersect the loop.
