Nottingham is close to the centre of England
at the heart of the East Midlands. It is
approximately 120 miles from London and 50
miles north of Birmingham.
Nottinghamshire consists of partially
reclaimed fenland, low-lying and fertile. A
Southern area of moors devoted to pasture is
known as the Wolds and the main river is the
Trent. Sherwood Forest, with its legends of
Robin Hood, includes the Dukeries, a
district noted for its fine estates. Cereal
crops and sugar beets are grown here and
dairying is extensive. There are even small
oil fields at Egmanton and Bothamsell. The
mineral wealth also includes limestone,
sandstone, and gravel.
Built on agriculture,
lace, chemistry and coal it’s awash with
literary brilliance and industry. Among
Nottingham's important historical sites and
features are its unique labyrinth of caves
under the city, the splendid mansion that is
now Nottingham Castle Museum and Art
Gallery.
