More about Nottingham
Nottingham's history reaches as far back as a thousand years, and is rich, interesting, and unique to the area. Few places have quite this much legend and folklore to dig into, and there are plenty of historic sites to explore such as Nottingham Castle. Originally, the site of the city was once an Anglo-Saxon settlement and over the years it developed and modernised to become an industrial powerhouse.
Today, the city balances its rich past with a modern feel and plenty to see and do. Too often reduced to a punchline about men in tights, it's a place full of surprises from one of the country's best food and drink scenes to the sheer number of cultural sites including Nottingham's Natural History Museum at Wollaton Hall.
