The Nottingham guided tour for those not so familiar with the city of Robin Hood fame, is designed to take you round the well known, as well as the not so well
known, areas of the city. Nottingham Castle, along with the statue of the famous outlaw, Robin Hood, is one location where we can stop for a photo shoot before moving on via the Old Market Square to
the Lace Market area, which is the famous, quarter mile square area of the city.
Once the heart of the world lace industry, with many impressive examples of 18th Century industrial architecture, the Lace Market is a protected heritage area. The area, once known for the production
of the internationally renowned Nottingham Lace, adjoins the "Hockley Village" area of the city, and between them they accommodate many fashionable bars, restaurants and shops.
From here we travel past Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem pub, reputed to be the oldest inn in England, which is set in Castle Rock at the foot of Nottingham Castle
The next destination would be Wollaton Hall and park. Set in over 500 acres of historic deer park, Wollaton Hall is a spectacular Tudor building, designed by Robert Smythson and completed in
1588,
A drive through the grounds will serve to whet your appetite perhaps, for a further visit, before we travel back to the place where you started your tour.
The above is a suggested route but your tour can be customised to meet your individual requirements.
The tour lasts approximately 1 hour and costs just £65.
