Nottingham, NTT at a Glance
The city of Nottingham has a history that dates back to 600AD and has been
immortalized as the setting for the fictional adventures of Robin Hood; a likeness
of the people's hero continues to steal the affection of visitors near Nottingham
Castle.
The heart of the city is focused around Old
Market Square, where visitors can experience the taste and smells of traditional
English life. It is here that visitors will find some of the city's oldest establishments,
including The
Bell Inn, an old English pub that serves traditional ale in an atmosphere
that has remained true to its roots since the first pour of a pint in the late
1200s. A modern attraction, the Angel
Row Gallery is home to an array of contemporary visual art pieces. For those
in search of a spine-chilling experience, the Nottingham
Ghost Walk is just the order. While telling tales of ghosts and visiting
ancient areas of Nottingham, including a cemetery, the tour ends with a visit
to the spooky underground caves beneath the Salutation Inn and perhaps, for
a lucky few, an actual ghost sighting.
