Nottingham Castle, Nottingham

Nottingham Castle features art galleries that exhibit the work of local and national artists, as well as historical artifacts like suits of armor and medieval weapons. For the more adventurous, check out the web of tunnels and caves that run underneath and fasten your ears to horrific tales from the times of Roger Mortimer and King David. There are also a number of activities for children! If you really want to make the most of the experience, dust off your Richard the Lionheart costume and take the tour in full garb, sword in hand, singing folk songs of the era in your best British accent. Or just have some coffee in the cafe and pick up a souvenir in the gift shop like everyone else. Now go!
