Start your visit with a wander around the grounds. You'll find stunning gardens perfect for a leisurely stroll or a sit-down with an ice cream while the kids run riot. Then, head inside the castle itself, where a mix of exhibitions awaits—showcasing everything from fine art to the legend of Robin Hood. It’s a proper day out, giving you a sense of Nottingham’s rich past, and a peek into how the city evolved over the centuries.

Don’t forget to take a cave tour while you’re there! Beneath the castle, there’s a maze of ancient caves waiting to be discovered. It’s a bit eerie, but oh-so fascinating—you'll be feeling like a true adventurer in no time. Before you wrap up your visit, stop by the café for a cup of tea or grab some souvenirs at the shop. Nottingham Castle is a fantastic blend of history, views, and interactive exhibits—ideal for both kids and grown-ups alike.
