Nottingham is perhaps a place best known from the legendary Robin Hood stories, and indeed it lies nestled near the mythical Sherwood Forest.

The entire region is steeped in legend, and Nottingham Castle is no exception. It features prominently in tales of the heroic outlaw, although its history and appeal span much further than these tales. Nottingham Castle is home to the Nottingham Castle Museum and Art Gallery, wherein are housed a vast collection of historical paintings, jewelry, and household artifacts like silverware and pottery. Guests can also explore the labyrinth of tunnels beneath the castle, with several tours throughout the day to detail the dramatic history of the man-made caves.
