Things to do in Nottingham, England: The Best Tours

March 24, 2022 Nicolette Lion

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.

As new to the centre, my friend & I had a 30min assessment/lesson followed by a 1 h hack. Both experienced novices but lesson was helpful- informative & relaxed & useful for the forthcoming hack. Hack was really good - steady pace through really beautiful countryside & friendly chat with our guide Cheryl. Horses nicely turned out & great temperaments- lovely & kind, no silliness but both with a spring in their step. Overall, well-run & friendly yard & really good value for money so will definitely be back for a longer hack. Thanks for a great afternoon!

Our flight was piloted by Chris. He was very informative and polite and took us over the Isle of White, the beach, Weymouth. The actual experience was AMAZING!! Everywhere we went he told us about it and the experience itself was amazing. I highly recommend this as it is definitely an experience you will never forget, one reason for that is that he handed me the controls and I FLEW THE PLANE! Everything was nice, chilled, very safe and easy. Overall, couldn't have been better ????

The treasure hunt was very well designed and offered opportunities to see parts of the city that we might not have found by ourselves. It’s great to run through it at your own pace and take breaks as a when needed. Also offered up some very interesting bits of history as you are going around as well. Would recommend anyone to give this a go.
