Nottingham also hosts a grass court tennis tournament each year before Wimbledon. As Greg Rusedski is a recent winner the standard can't be too high.

Nottingham, if memory serves me correctly, has more sports facilities per head than any other place in Europe. There are two local football teams - Notts. County and Nottingham Forest. Neither team plays in the Premiership nowadaws but Nottingham Forest were two time winners of the European Cup back in th elate seventies/early eighties. Nottingham also hosts a grass court tennis tournament each year before Wimbledon. As Greg Rusedski is a recent winner the standard can't be too high. |

Nottingham's most famous son - not Brian Clough, but Robin Hood. Stealing from the rich to give to the poor - you know the story. |

Visit Nottingham Castle. It's not so much the castle that's of interest though (because it's not the original and doesn't even look like a castle now). No, it's the underground tunnels under and around the castle grounds that have a story to tell (see picture below). Scary rides at the Goose Fair in October! |

The picture here is of Carsington Reservoir which is owned by the Severn Trent Water Authority one of the largest companies providing our household and business tap water. There is a visitors centre explaining how the water is collected and purified prior to use and much more besides, quite informative for children and adults alike. You can take the 9 mile walk around the Reservoir or cycle around it, take a picnic on it's surrounding banks or just relax, the choice is yours! (But no swimming, sorry.) |
