I’ve been lucky enough to travel to quite a lot of places around the world, but one of my favourite places is Nottinghamshire. The city is compact, bustling and friendly. There always seems to be some great play, concert, exhibition or festival to keep you entertained. When the bright lights of the city get too much, or the hangover kicks in, it’s easy to escape into the countryside within minutes. You can discover the natural beauty of the county which inspired DH Lawrence and was home to the iconic Robin Hood.
It's really easy to get to as well, train station in the city, Nottingham East Midlands Airport just south of the city and a few minutes from the M1. Trams and buses make it a good city if your using public transport too.
A really good website for visitor information is www.visitnotts.com.
