Welcome to Robin Hood country, yours to explore from any one of our holiday cottages in Nottinghamshire. The legend of the man in green attracts many thousands of visitors to Sherwood Forest, now a large country park where you can re-live the stories made famous on film and TV. Another great day out is a trip to Clumber Park, excellent for walking and cycling.
Our Nottinghamshire cottage holidays are also ideal for making the most of the city of Nottingham. This vibrant city offers some great shopping and cultural activities and the nightlife here is second to none. Nottingham Castle is now the city’s museum and art gallery, while at its foot you’ll find the Trip to Jerusalem, the oldest tavern in England. Other attractions in the city include the network of caves and tunnels under the streets, known as the Caves of Nottingham, and the Tales of Robin Hood, a real family favourite.
Nottinghamshire has its literary connections too. You can visit the birthplace of author D.H. Lawrence in Eastwood, as well as Newstead Abbey, ancestral home of Lord Byron, which is set in some lovely gardens.
