Abbey Park in West Bridgford estate is a pleasant and quiet area of West Bridgford with a diversity of cultures and was constructed in the mid– to late–70s on land that were previously uncultivated fields and allotments. The Willow Tree pub ( A free house) was constructed at the same time. The roads are named after famous abbeys and are laid out in a manner that precludes fast driving.

​

Divided in two, with the majority of homes being constructed for private purchase, there are a smaller number constructed for council tenants.There is a mix of three, four and five-bedroom homes on the private‐owned estate in townhouse, semi-detached, link detached, and detached configurations, with a small number of bungalows. Bisham Drive, Dale Close, Newstead Drive, Mountsorrel Drive, Fountains Close, WalthamClose, and Nearsby Drive form the larger housing areas with the houses arranged in cul-de-sacs. The two through-roads on the estate are Rufford Way and Buckfast Way.
