About Nottingham

Nottingham is a Midlands city of caves, lace and Robin Hood legend, with a castle on a sandstone cliff and Sherwood Forest to the north.

Nottingham grew on a sandstone ridge above the River Trent, and Nottingham Castle, rebuilt in the seventeenth century as a ducal mansion, stands on the rocky crag where a Norman fortress once rose. More than eight hundred man-made caves are cut into the sandstone beneath the city, and some of them form part of Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem, a pub built against the rock.
