Given how close the City Ground is to a nearby residential area, it isn’t possible to walk the entire way around its immediate vicinity. The southeast corner is the area most notably cut off and you will need to head down Radcliffe Road to get between the southern and eastern sides of the stadium.

The East Stand is known as the Brigdford End.
It has a nice looking exterior that is made up mostly of large white panels with a brickwork design at the base and a red cantilever roof coming down from the top.
The majority of turnstiles for this stand can be reached from the same place but Turnstiles 57-59, which lead to blocks V1 and V2 of the stand’s upper tier, require fans to head down Colwick Road, which is separated from the rest of the Bridgford End’s exterior by houses. There is a small red gate between these two sections but it is unlikely that you will be allowed through here.
Most of the stadium’s car parking is out beyond the Bridgford End and the northeast corner, accessible by going down either Scarrington Road or Thoroton Road.

Continuing round in a clockwise direction along Radcliffe Road brings you to the stadium’s South Stand, which is named after Peter Taylor.
Born in Nottingham on 2nd July 1928, Taylor played as a goalkeeper for clubs including Coventry City and Middlesbrough before entering management with Burton Albion in the early 1960s. Assistant to Brian Clough at Forest between 1976 and 1982, Taylor was part of the club's most successful period ever, and his legacy will forever live on in this part of Nottingham.
He passed away on 4th October 1990 at the age of 62.
The Peter Taylor Stand is clearly the smallest of the four, and the turnstiles into here are in smaller buildings separate from the stand itself.
You can only get to the Peter Taylor Stand by walking down one of the two Pavilion Roads, emerging next to a building that holds Nottingham Forest’s Main Ticket Office, Megastore and Reception. You’ll pass both here and the southern car park before reaching the stand's turnstiles.

To get round to the Trent End on the western side of the ground, you'll need to make your way slightly along London Road (A60) and then turn onto Trentside North, continuing up it to the stand's exterior, which is made up mostly of a large glass pane and a cantilever roof. Its much easier to see from the opposite bank however as the path you walk along goes right underneath it.
Brick pillars come down regularly along the front of the exterior to hold it up, and the turnstiles leading into the stand are alongside this Trentside path.

The North Stand is named after Brian Clough.
Born in Middlesbrough on 21st March 1935. A prolific striker with Middlesbrough and Sunderland, his career was cut short at 29 through injury and he moved into management. He is considered Nottingham Forest’s greatest ever manager who alongside his right-hand-man Peter Taylor took Forest to a First Division title, four League Cups, two UEFA European Cups and a UEFA European Super Cup between 1975 and 1993.
Considered one of the greatest British managers ever, Clough passed away on the 20th September 2004 at the age of 69.
The stand has a corrugated iron roof and giant pillars come down at very regular intervals along the front, with cantilever behind this to hold the roof up inside.
The turnstiles are behind this row of pillars, as well as the entrance to the Brian Clough Stand Executive Suite and the stand's Ticket Office.
Car parking spaces are out beyond this stand and Nottingham Forest also have a Family Red Zone nearby that has benches and a small merchandise shop set up inside.
