What to expect
Beeston Canal
Learn the story behind the canals and see how they have been transformed in the modern day. Stand on the spot of a massive explosion that shook half of the city!
Explore the hidden city of caves beneath the modern streets of Nottingham. New caves are being discovered every year and people have lived and worked in them for countless centuries.
At the heart of the old town, where the market used to be and at the entrance to the lanes and streets of old Nottingham.
St Mary’s Church Nottingham
A wonderful old medieval church which also featured in the adventures of Robin Hood. *Church is closed on Saturdays*
The Lace Market
Nottingham is famous for many things but historically it was always renowned for its lace. We will explore the old streets and lanes and learn the history of the old city itself.
Hockley
This vibrant quarter of Nottingham is sometimes compared with Soho in London and it's not hard to see why when we walk through the streets with fashionable restaurants, pubs and shops.
Dominated by its magnificent old town hall, the Old Market Square is about 13,000 sq feet, one of the largest city squares anywhere. Host to lots of local events and with shopping streets fanning out in all directions and trams nipping by. Home to several icons of Nottingham and also to some incredible history that even many locals just walk right over without noticing.
Many locals don't even know this is here. The only surviving and visible ruins of the old medieval walls that once stretched more than a mile around the city.
St Barnabas Cathedral Nottingham
This Roman Catholic Cathedral has some wonderful interiors and close connections with the Houses of Parliament in Westminster.
The Park Tunnel
Explore this secretive and incredible Victorian tunnel from the City Centre to the gorgeous Park Estate. Please note the tunnel is flat but we only visit here if you are happy with walking up the steps back to the rest of the route! If not, no problem we carry on as usual.
Wollaton Park
Gorgeous old Victorian steps that cover the route of a much older pathway. (Alternative route available)!
Standard Hl
Stand on the spot where the English Civil war effectively started when King Charles I planted his Royal Standard above Nottingham Castle.
Right by the walls of Nottingham Castle is the iconic statue of Robin Hood.
Explore what has always been one of the 4 most important Royal Castles in England.
An old Crusader pub, hence the name. One of the very oldest pubs anywhere and partially built into the rock under Nottingham Castle. A great place to have a drink at the end of the tour or if you prefer, stay on for a meal.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
