Nottingham
If you're curious about Nottingham you'll love what we've created - choose from five themed walks, with directions, a map, and clues to answer along the way - guaranteeing you won't miss anything of interest, and providing entertainment for all.
The City
The city has more sports facilities for its size than any other city in Europe. It is home to the National Ice Centre, which was opened in 2000 by Jayne Torville. Its nightspots attract over 50,000 people every weekend. It has one of the country's top retail centres, and attracts two million regular shoppers.
In 1831 Nottingham had a population of 51,000, today that number has swelled to almost 300,000.
Built on sandstone, from which some 400 caves have been carved, Nottingham is probably best known for its castle, the Sheriff of Nottingham, and Robin Hood.
The Routes
We have selected four unique routes, through and around Nottingham. Each one has been carefully chosen to highlight an aspect of the city which might otherwise remain hidden. For each walk there are directions and a series of clues to be answered.
Norman Nottingham starts outside the famous Brewhouse Yard museum, before passing notorious caves en route to the castle. Travel from historic to modern as you explore the outskirts of The Park and Nottingham's professional quarter. Traverse the weirdest tunnel ever, before ending up at Nottingham's stunning Playhouse, with its pleasant bar and cafe area.
The Canal was originally opened in 1796 and is now a peaceful haven - a chance to escape the hustle and bustle of the city centre, a stone's throw away.
Anglo-Saxon Nottingham has the Lace Market at its heart, which was named after the industry for which Nottingham became famous. Leading to it are a mix of busy streets, contrasting architectures and places of note - such as the imposing 1920's Council House, and the modern Ice Arena.
The Arboretum dates from 1852. This spectacular city centre park boasts no fewer than nine listed buildings and structures. It also claims the longest dahlia border in Europe! The search for clues takes you through large open spaces, unveiling an intriguing mix of botany, history and architecture.
A Free Bonus Section is added to each copy of the walks which takes in some of Nottingham's oldest and most unusual pubs - the clues are on the outside, you can choose whether to explore the inside.
