Delve deep into the underground and see why Nottinghamshire is famed for its cave network. At Creswell Crags you can see the Ice Age cave drawings left by our ancestors, while at the City of Caves in Nottingham you can go on an archaeological journey through the sandstone caves. Visitors can go on a tour with Annie and Archie the Archaeologists and find out more about this fascinating attraction. For more information on Nottingham's caves, click here.
And of course, we also have plenty of Robin Hood attractions plus events which take place throughout the year, including the Robin Hood Festival held in the outlaw's famous hideout, Sherwood Forest. Learn the art of archery, visit The Major Oak and or hop on a bike and explore the woods. At Sherwood Pines there are plenty of off-road trails for cyclists of all abilities and you can also hire bikes (or segways!) if you don't want to bring your own. For more details on cycling, including accommodation, trails, hire and events, visit our dedicated page.
Nottinghamshire is also full of great country parks, such as Rushcliffe Country Park which is perfect for nature spotting. Spend some quality time with the family playing outdoor games such as football, cricket or rounders or follow a scenic trail around the park by bike or foot. Enjoy the great outdoors at Conkers, the award-winning attraction in the heart of the National Forest that hosts a unique mix of indoor and outdoor experiences to keep you and your family engaged for hours.
