The Top Things to Do and See in Nottingham, England
"Described as a magnificent 17th-century ducal mansion, Nottingham Castle sits atop cliffs 40m (130ft) high, offering fabulous views of the city. Originally built in 1067 by William the Conqueror and then rebuilt by a series of other kings, Nottingham Castle is embedded in history. Offering a medieval-to-modern British and European art collection, this ancient building has a lot of culture for visitors who wish to take a step back from the energetic city life."

15 Best Things to Do in Nottingham (Nottinghamshire, England
"Once spoken of in the same terms as the Tower of London and Windsor Castle, Nottingham Castle looks over the city from its high sandstone crag known as Castle Rock. As with many strongholds in England the castle was torn down in the wake of the English Civil War to prevent it being re-used. Afterwards Henry Cavendish, the 2nd Duke of Newcastle, built the Baroque Ducal Mansion on the remains and in 1878 the Nottingham Castle Museum opened in this building."

Most Instagrammable Places & Best Photo Spots in Nottingham, England
"One of the best photography spots in Nottingham is the Wollaton Park. There are deer walking around there (in a special section) and if you bring a good zoom lens, you can take some incredible shots, especially in Autumn. As we visited Nottingham in May, it was also very nice, green and pretty and I took a lot of photos in Wollaton Park."

15 Best Things to Do in Nottingham (Nottinghamshire, England
"The father of George Green, one of 19th-century England’s most noted mathematical physicists, built this windmill in Nottingham’s Sneinton suburb in 1807. After the elder Green passed away, George Green was in charge of the mill until he died in 1841. The mill was almost lost to a fire in 1947 but was restored to working condition by Nottingham City Council in the 1980s and from some distance around Nottingham you can see its huge white sails turning."

However its current building opened in 1963 and it has a fairly modern appearance, probably due to its refurbishment in 2004. The venue hosts a variety of different shows and notably, the ever popular theatre adaptation of the Kite Runner premiered there."
