Nottingham Castle
About
Nottingham Castle is a historic site and art gallery with a legacy spanning a thousand years, famously linked to the legend of Robin Hood. The current building, a 17th-century ducal mansion, sits on a high rock overlooking the city and was built on the site of the original medieval fortress. Following a major £30 million restoration, it now features immersive galleries that tell the story of the city's rebellious history and its world-famous lace industry. The castle grounds and caves provide a unique social destination for exploration and discovery, offering breathtaking views and a deep connection to England's past.
