Nottingham sits on the Trent in the English East Midlands, with a compact centre around the Old Market Square and the castle on its rock above. The Lace Market quarter east of the square holds the Victorian warehouses of the trade that made the city wealthy.
The castle rock is honeycombed with caves cut into the sandstone, and the City of Caves tour beneath a shopping centre is the most unusual thing in the city. The Robin Hood association is inescapable and lightly worn, the Lace Market is the most attractive quarter, and Sherwood Forest with its ancient oaks lies north.
The centre is walkable and a tram network covers the wider city. Trains reach London in around two hours, and the Peak District is within an hour to the northwest.
Late spring through early autumn gives the longest daylight and the best weather. Rain is possible in any month, and the city has a large student population that shapes term-time atmosphere.
