Overview

Discover Nottingham, a vibrant, forward-thinking city deeply rooted in its fascinating past. Starting and ending at the Old Market Square, this roughly circular route takes you past iconic landmarks including the Park Tunnel and historic Nottingham Castle. You'll uncover a pub uniquely carved into a cliff face and explore a mysterious sandstone tunnel deep beneath the city streets. Nottingham is famed for its subterranean wonders, expect descents into underground features, including steps and a large tunnel to walk through. Along the way, your guide Helen shares insider tips and local haunts, so you'll always know the best spots to pause and soak in the atmosphere. This is a self-guided outdoor walking tour.
