Things to Do in Nottingham

Nottingham has more history underground than most cities, and plenty of green space around the edges. Here are four places that suit a daytime meeting.

The castle and the caves for the old city

Nottingham Castle sits on a sandstone rock with a network of caves cut beneath the city. Together they give a day with real depth and an easy, central starting point.

Wollaton Park for deer and an Elizabethan house

Wollaton Park, a short ride from the centre, has a large Elizabethan hall, a lake and a herd of deer in open parkland. It suits a long, easy afternoon with plenty of room.

The Trent Embankment for a riverside stroll

The Embankment runs along the Trent south of the centre, with wide paths, lawns and a view of the river. It is flat, public and busy on dry weekends.

Sherwood Forest for the legend

North of the city, Sherwood Forest is an ancient woodland with a famous oak and waymarked trails. It needs a car or a bus, and it gives a day out the flavour of the Robin Hood story.

Planning a Nottingham day

The tram links the centre with the station and some of the outer areas, but the forest and the park are easier by car or taxi. Wet weather suits the caves, and dry weather suits the parks, so check the forecast before you choose.
