Nottingham is one of the 10 most visited cities in England and has a historic past with settlements in the area dating back to pre-Roman times. Nottingham's economy was once mostly based on their Lace making factories and coal mining industries, though not much of these industries still remain in the area. The economy now has shifted more to the service industry and tourism and is a popular shopping destination.

It holds a pretty impressive location, sitting at the top of a 130 foot cliff in a place known as "Castle Rock". The Castle operates as a museum and Gallery today and also has some interesting cave tours that are available.

Another sight worth a stop is the popular statue of Robin Hood, which is located just outside Nottingham Castle from what was once the moat. In connection with Robin Hood, another popular sight in Nottingham is the Sherwood Forest Park. The park extends over 450 acres with a variety of plant and animal life.
