About Nottingham

Nottingham leans hard into its Robin Hood legend, but the real city is a compact, flat, pedestrian-friendly Midlands hub built around the Lace Market's Victorian warehouses and a big student population from two universities. Old Market Square is the genuine civic heart — markets, fountains, people-watching — and the tram network makes it one of the easier mid-sized UK cities to see without a car.
