I saw that reviews and comments were positive, so I decided to try it. So, I looked in a couple of blogs and TripAdvisor and found Annie’s. I must admit that I look for restaurants and cafes before travelling anywhere. Places to eat in Nottingham Annie’s Burger Shack On a sunny day, you can grab a takeaway, sit down and relax watching how people pass or interact with others as well as see how children play and run in the fountain area.Īlso, this is where many important events such as Christmas Winter Wonderland in the winter and Riviera Beach in the summer take place. But, actually, it’s the largest public space in the UK after London’s Trafalgar Square. This square is very impressive, spacious and beautiful, and somehow reminds me of London. The main meeting point for locals and tourists, Old Market Square is where you can find your way to shopping streets and the tourist centre if you want to buy a souvenir or ask for any information. One of the best things to do is enjoy the squirrels’ company! There are many friendly squirrels running around the trees, so you can be lucky to feed them or take a close picture of them.
The birdcages didn’t have any real birds as we expected, but maybe this is because we visited Nottingham in March and it’s still cold. As you walk in, you can find the small lake and birdcages on the left. The park is a great place to relax and enjoy a picnic on a sunny day. It’s also near the city cemetery as we found out to our surprise! It seems like you can access the park from the cemetery too, but when we went they had closed the back gate. This park is located a bit further away from the city centre, but it’s within a walking distance. If you’re walking around the castle, you won’t miss the Robin Hood statue because is located near the castle entrance.Īpart from taking a picture of this statue, you can also see and read the wall plaques that illustrate scenes from the tales of Robin Hood and his Merry Men. Overall, visiting Nottingham Caves is a great experience. They have beautiful shiny gemstones to purchase. I loved how informative the tour was and the little breaks between the talks to take pictures and enjoy exploring the caves.Īlso, before starting your tour, while you’re waiting, you can glimpse the little souvenir shop near the ticket office.
This is a 45 minutes guided tour with a history expert that will tell you everything you want to know about the history behind the caves, however, you’ll also have some take to take pictures and wander by yourself. Some of these caves were houses for poor families, but as time passed it was used for many other reasons such as a place to have meetings to carry out illegal activities, a place to protect yourself from explosions during the Second World War, a place to make fabric… Nottingham is well-known for its caves that were used in different ways through the years. Here is a list of must-see places to visit in Nottingham in a day.Ĭity of Caves is a must-see attraction because you’ll learn so much about the history and culture of this city. However, by the end of my visit, I wish I had more time to explore other areas around Nottingham too. It’s a great city to visit for a day trip because you have a bit of everything (museums, parks, a good variety of restaurants, monuments, etc.) The city isn’t very big, so that will help you visit almost everything in a day. However, it isn’t about making a decision only on what others tell you, so I decided to create my own opinion by visiting this city. I remember a friend telling me that Nottingham is a charming place to visit, but I had heard of a mix of opinions, from it’s lovely to it isn’t worth a visit.
The truth is that I’ve visited many places close to where I live ( Yorkshire) and I wanted to travel somewhere not too far and not too close, so I decided to look into Nottingham. There are plenty of great places to visit in Nottingham, but before diving into them. If you’re wondering if Nottingham is worth visiting… If you aren’t familiar with UK cities, Nottingham is located in Central England, in the Midlands.
