The A610 is an A-road in England, which runs from Nottingham to Ambergate, where it joins the A6.
The road starts in Nottingham at a roundabout which Maid Marian Way and Upper Parliament Street spur (A6008 road. From here road ascends, passing Nottingham Cathedral. At Canning Circus, it meets the A6200 (former A52) for Derby and A608 for Ilkeston. The A610 becomes Alfreton Road as it passes through Hyson Green, where it meets the A6130 Radford Boulevard and Gregory Boulevard, then becomes Nuthall Road, crossing the Nottingham Ring Road (A6514). The road then passes through Aspley, with the speed limit being enforced by SPECS average speed cameras. It crosses the B6004 at NCN Basford Hall then the B6008 at the Cinderhill Roundabout. To the north is the Phoenix park terminus of the NET Line 2 (tram). At this point, the road detours from its original route through Nuthall, the new route (built when the M1 arrived in 1966) becomes a dual carriageway, passing the Millers Barn NottinghamBeefeater on the right opposite the BP St Mary`s Service Station, and Nuthall Pub & Kitchen on the left. The road ascends out of the city of Nottingham towards the large Nuthall Island with the A6002 and B600. The former route follows what is now the B600. Shortly afterwards, the route then meets the Nuthall Interchange (junction 26) of the M1 motorway at a large roundabout. On 24 May 1967, Barbara Castle opened the section of the M1 from here to junction 27 at Annesley Woodhouse.
