Nottingham Castle

Nottingham Castle

 

Nottingham Castle Situated on a high rock, Nottingham Castle commands spectacular views over the city and once rivalled the great castles of Windsor and the Tower of London. Its history is chequered with sieges, murders and intrigue. Totally destroyed after the Civil War, it was replaced by a magnificent ducal mansion in 1674. Then in 1875 it was converted into the first municipal museum and art gallery outside London. Award-winning cave tours tell this history and take you down into the passageways and tunnels beneath the building. The museum, recently refurbished, now contains spectacular fine and decorative arts galleries, as well as galleries telling the story of Nottingham, the Sherwood Foresters Regimental Museum and an exciting programme of art exhibitions. The museum also has a shop, a cafe and a medieval playground within its grounds.

Nottingham Forest FC

Nottingham Forest FC

 

Still world famous because of their European Cup (Champions League), English League and League Cup exploits in the late seventies/early eighties under the leadership of a certain Brian Clough. At a time when football was arguably played more passionately and diving was still an Olympic sport, Nottingham Forest regularly pounded the likes of Chelsea, Arsenal and Man United. Those were the days..... What's there to see - There's usually a summer open day, the trophy room, stadium tours.
