Famous for its long association with Robin Hood, Nottingham boasts a clutch of major museums and art galleries as well as theatres, music and sporting venues. The city of caves – a honeycomb of sandstone chambers carved underneath the city showcasing Nottingham’s immensely rich history - is a must-see.
