Nottingham: attractions

  • Fancy scurrying around under the streets of Nottingham? The City of Caves is a labyrinth of underground tunnels beneath the city streets. Roam around on an archaeological journey under the cobbles and discover how Nottingham dwellers once lived.

 

  • The Galleries of Justice is another must-see...if you dare. Voted Nottingham's Best Visitor Attraction, this museum of crime and punishment hosts audio and performance-led tours through corridors, cells and dungeons - all rumoured to be haunted!

 

  • Venture a short way outside Nottingham and go on a tour of Sherwood Forest; home to the legend of Robin Hood and his band of Merry Men. Discovery the history of this breathtaking forest, plan a picnic or take a scenic stroll through this 450-acre, wildlife-filled forest.

Nottingham: shopping

  • If you love big name retailers, head to The Exchange – one of Nottingham’s most impressive buildings. This Grade II-listed shopping arcade is home to some of the country’s best-known brands, as well as many independent stores. Those after the designer labels should check out the Bridlesmith Gate area. 
  • After a hard day’s shopping, pop along to Old Market Square to rest your feet, people watch and have a bite to eat. The largest public space in the UK after Trafalgar Square, it’s the city’s major meeting hub.
