Nottingham

Nottingham might be known for the legends of Robin Hood, but the city is about far more than stories of outlaws and angry sheriffs. You'll find history here aplenty, embodied in the 11th-century Nottingham Castle, the impressive vaulted cathedral and the stately Elizabethan Wollaton Hall, surrounded by a well-groomed deer park.

There's a modern side to the city too. The Nottingham Playhouse is one of the country's leading theatres with year-round dance, music and drama performances, while the spirited student population create a packed schedule of gigs and festivals. Those looking for a little retail therapy should hit the designer boutiques at the Flying Horse Centre.
