What to do in Nottingham 

Home to Stilton cheese, pork pies and the legendary hero of all ages Robin Hood, the town holds an adventurous spirit that prides itself on its history and culture. Whether you want to follow the footsteps of everybody’s favourite outlaw, or immerse yourself in the historic sites, there is plenty for everyone to see and do in Nottingham.

Visit Sherwood Forest made famous by legend Robin Hood and has fantastic walking and nature trails. If you’re lucky enough to visit the forest in August, be prepared for a fun-filled week at the Robin Hood Festival, where you can immerse yourselves in medieval merriment and is great for all ages!

Venture out of the forest and under the streets of Nottingham into the City of Caves, a series of caves carved from sandstone dating back to the dark ages. Fancy a drink with your adventure? Try and seek out The Lost Caves hidden under the oldest hotel in Nottingham.

Atop the caves, and beneath Nottingham Castle, sits Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem. Known as England’s oldest inn, it was also supposed to have served the crusaders on their way out to Jerusalem in the 12th century. The rock caves below also provided the ideal environment for setting up a brewhouse, where a speaking tube found dating back to the Medieval times was used as a way to receive orders from the castle. A major part of Nottingham’s identity, the inn remains a functioning pub to this day.
