Nottingham is the greatest city in the East Midlands, right in the middle of the country – which is very handy for you people travelling from all over the place. It’s most famous for a man in tights – Robin Hood, his merry men and the Sheriff of Nottingham, but there’s much more to the city than lutes and green tunics!
The city was known as Place of Caves in Anglo-Saxon times, with people living and working in the many caves that pepper the city. It’s also reputed to have 2 girls to every man, although we’ve never seen any evidence of this! Maybe all those extra girls are hiding in the caves.
