June 28, 2021 Vivienne Hutton

This town in the very center of England is perhaps best known for its association with the legend of Robin Hood. The men in tights are long gone, though—today, you’ll find a modern city with a fantastic playhouse, ice hockey arena, and many, many shops and clubs.

Highfields

Reviewed By Oyesola - West Bridgford, United Kingdom

Beautiful big park with lots to do. You have the lake, the adventure golf course and a kiddies play area. Very big and had a lot of groups but with enough space between everyone. Lots of dog walkers and cyclists. An ice cream van was parked there too. Next to the University of Nottingham. If you go on a busy day like we did, parking may be an issue. I definitely recommend this park.

The Arboretum

Reviewed By tushar_pai - Milton Keynes, United Kingdom

We were staying at the Premier Inn on Goldsmith Street and the arboretum was two minutes walk away. On one occasion we took a tram from Old Market Square and got down at the High School stop at the top of the hill. We entered the Arboretum from the entrance at the top and then walked down to the Waverley street entrance opposite the cemetery. From the top we were able to go across to the Bandstand and then round this lovely green space to the Chinese Bell tower from where we reached the aviary. It’s a really peaceful place in the middle of the city close to the Nottingham Trent University and you Forest Rec ground.

A set of man-made caves dating from 1250 AD that were discovered under the local shopping centre. Part of the National Justice Museum.

Reviewed By garrys662 - Bridport, United Kingdom

Buy your ticket as an all in one with the Justice Museum. Our charming and very amusing guide gave a fantastic tour of these ancient man made vaults with examples of how they've been used over the ages from the oldest tanners in the world to air raid shelters.
