2026 Hucknall Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in January)

#northerneurope One of the most iconic landmarks of a world-famous character. You can create a historic route in Nottingham by visiting Nottingham Castle, stopping by the Robin Hood Statue, and finally enjoying a beer at Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem. Nottingham's association with Robin Hood is undeniable, and the castle grounds even feature a Robin Hood experience. While some find the historical exhibits lacking, the castle offers temporary exhibitions and interactive displays that can be engaging, especially for families. #nottingham

Try and stay centrally but consider that few hotels have independent parking but they will all have recommendations of local paid parking. We loved the Leonardo hotel, Nottingham. We were on floor 9 and there was a cracking concert going on over the road but don’t fear, the soundproofing was amazing. The Hungry Pumpkin was cosy but the staff were hugely inviting and the food was ABSOLUTELY delicious. There is plenty of stunning graffiti through Nottingham, especially by the university. The castle is worth a visit. It is magnificent but we personally loved the Ye Old Trip to Jerusalem Inn, located within the lower walls of the castle itself. The Inn is full of character and charm and even the lemonade and lime was top tier.

#springitinerary The Robin Hood Statue outside Nottingham Castle is a must-see for anyone visiting the city. Created by sculptor James Woodford and unveiled in 1952, it shows Robin Hood in his classic archer stance, ready to defend the forest. Surrounding him are smaller statues of his loyal Merry Men, like Little John and Friar Tuck. This iconic bronze statue has become a favorite photo spot and a symbol of Nottingham’s legendary past. Despite some damage over the years, it still stands tall as a tribute to one of England’s most famous folklore heroes. Perfect for history buffs and fans of the legend alike! 🏹🌳 #RobinHood #Nottingham #LegendaryHeroes #HistoricLandmarks

#nottinghamtrip #NottinghamTrip #RobinHoodCountry #VisitNottinghamshire #UKCityBreaks #CastleViews #HiddenCaves #CityOfCaves #StreetArtUK #HistoricEngland #LaceMarketLife Nottingham truly surprised me on my recent #nottinghamtrip. It's a city where myth and history blend seamlessly with vibrant modern culture. Whether you're chasing the legend of Robin Hood or just looking for a lively weekend getaway, Nottingham has something for every traveler. My adventure began at the Nottingham Castle, perched on a rocky outcrop with sweeping views of the city. Recently renovated, it now combines history with immersive exhibits and art. Just below the castle lies one of the city’s most unique attractions: the City of Caves. I explored a maze of man-made sandstone caves that date back centuries—some were used as air raid shelters, others as medieval tannery sites! Walking through the Lace Market district was like stepping back in time. Once the center of the world’s lace industry, it's now filled with boutique hotels, stylish cafés, and independent art spaces. The whole area buzzes with creativity and charm. For a deep dose of legend, I visited the Robin Hood statue and even took a walking tour dedicated to the tales of Nottingham’s most famous outlaw. It was fun, quirky, and surprisingly informative. Evenings were best spent along the Canal Side with its relaxed restaurants and bars. And for a touch of academia and architecture, I wandered around the University of Nottingham’s serene campus. Best Time to Visit: April to October is ideal for milder weather and outdoor exploration. Travel Tips: Most attractions are walkable from the city center. Don’t miss a pint at Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem, one of England’s oldest pubs. The tram system is quick and easy for getting around. Nottingham offers the perfect mix of historic intrigue, cozy spots, and modern flair. It’s definitely one of the UK’s underrated city gems—and one I’ll gladly visit again.

For me, a day in Nottingham is enough. I went to tourist places a day and the places can reach by walking without any bus or tramp… I didn’t went to Batman location but I think you need buy ticket transport to there… #travel #explore #international_student
