I moved to Nottingham completely by accident, so far I've found it great so much to see and do I love it

If you thought it looked familiar Wollaton Hall was featured in Batman because they used it as Bruce Wayne's house.

Funnily enough i only visited Nottingham for the first time recently, had no preconceptions of the city, but really liked the place and alot to see and do!

Thanks for the visit to Highfields Park. We love Nottingham and didn't even know it existed 😂👍

We nearly didn’t go because google made it look like just a play park but glad we did. If you pay a visit there is a cafe and art gallery in the grounds too as well as crazy golf! Parking was a little on the sparse side though but the trams do stop nearby.

We just spent 6 months in Nottingham and it was amazing, so much history and green spaces, including the Aboretum, Colwick Park and lakes and Wollaton Park with its Deers! Fantastic walks along the canals too and great pubs! Also great place for exploring the UK as right in the middle! 2 pound to go anywhere on the bus and trams that crisscross the city, looking forward to going back!! I would say very underrated!! Well worth a visit!!

I love Nottingham, I've been going there since the 90's when they had a terrific rock / indie club night at Nottingham Rock City every Saturday! That club night is long gone but I still get to Rock City for a gig as often as I can (best live venue in the country imho!) and it's always a pleasure to revisit the city itself, certainly an under-rated place.

Great to have my home town promoted, btw, Wollaton is pronounced Woolerton

Hi guys, another great video. Do you research what you want to do, or just find places to go when you are there. I obviously need to be more organised when visiting different towns. Look forward to the next video.

A bit of both really. We research places and things to do in the city and have a rough itinerary of the most important things we want to see or do but we are always flexible if we come across something unexpected and we like to walk wherever possible because that’s when we tend to stumble across hidden gems.

Loved this, brought back memories from my (Matt’s) home city. Thank you. Film fact Wollaton Hall was in one of the Batman films. Now over to Coventry 😂.

It’s a beautiful city. I feel like we say this with most cities we visit in the U.K. but we really did only scratch the surface, our itinerary was much larger but we underestimated some of the places we went and how long we’d spend there 😂

galleries of justice nottingham city centre lace market where ye old was there is. Another old pub. Ye old is haunted. Nttm forest notts county nottm cricket club trent bridge mansfield road sherwood forest stonebridge farm theatre royal nottingham playhouse

wollerton hall? do you mean wollerton hall, pronounced wullerton? always fun to hear someone pronouncing the name of something they have no example to draw on :D nottingham is definitely completely underrated, but there was more to it a few years ago before everything started closing down. The castle isnt what you'd expect as the original castle was burned down in a tax revolt in the 1700s and rebuilt again in a more modern (for the time) form.

It’s always a challenge with the pronunciation, especially of places as regional variations are so huge. Thank you for letting us know of the correct way to say it! Sure we will be back in Nottingham in the future to explore more, let’s see if we can remember to get it right 😂

Great vid! Please do re-visit Notts, it’s got such a lot to offer, including arts and culture and beautiful architecture. The nightlife is pretty good too. I really enjoyed your Coventry video, it’s inspired me to check out the ruins, climb the steeple and see the medieval buildings. Thanks!

Glad to hear you enjoyed this video and our Coventry one. We will definitely come back to Nottingham at some point. Any specific recommendations for us when we do?

@@JJExtra I’d recommend visiting the City of Caves tour, National Justice Museum, Contemporary art gallery, the Exchange for the art work, Hockley for independent shopping and food, Sneinton Market for independent shopping and food, a gig at Rock City if there’s one on, and walk around the Arboretum! A walk around the canal is nice too. Enjoy 😊

Would you guys ever do a QnA? Would love to ask some questions for it

The City of Caves is at the old Broadmarsh Centre not the Victoria Centre. It’s still open despite the demolition of Broadmarsh.

Well, the shoehorn bill bird between 18:22-18:25 is somewhat a living dinosaur

You do USA trips, if you wanna see dinosaurs go to Alberta Canada and go to Tyrell museum in Alberta. Job done

Id love to visit Nottingham if it wasnt for that mean Sheriff everyone is always on about. Im not sure Britain is for me what with all the mean Sheriffs, torture dungeons, et al.

How good is Nottingham for a visitor ? After many years without any holidays, my wife and I (both in our 60s) had a short break to London in Nov 2022. We travelled by train from Newcastle and loved it, so much so, we have had several breaks since, to Edinburgh (twice) Glasgow, London again, Leeds, Manchester, York and Liverpool and we still have London and Glasgow again this year. I am thinking of somewhere new to visit, for late in the year, or even early 2025, hence the question. My wife likes the shops, while we both also enjoy seeing new places of interest, such as museums, cathedrals etc. Birmingham, Chester, Cardiff, Sheffield, Aberdeen, Inverness are other possibilities.

Nottingham is great, there is lots to do from museums and caves to plenty of shopping. All the cities you have mentioned are great to explore, we do live Sheffield and have a new video from there coming next Sunday. It’s also not far between there and Nottingham.

Nice video as usual. As a non-Brit it would be nice if you showed on a map where your going. I heard of a lot of these places but not sure where in UK they are. I alway have to look where the place is after watching your video.

Hi Mark, glad to hear you are enjoying the videos. Thank you for the feedback it’s really useful, we will try to figure out the best way we can incorporate your suggestion going forward 😊

Point 1, Nottingham Castle is NOT a Castle its a ducal Mansion museum

There was a castle in this location but it was destroyed in the Civil War. The original castle was in place from 1068 to 1651.

There are more caves you can go round, I'm from nottingham. Not sure if they are open though because they were in the broadmarsh shopping centre and that has been knocked down

We were told the very same thing the first time we visited and didn’t know it existed so we made sure we didn’t make the same mistake again. The interior was cool 👌🏻

Lived here for 18 years. I would not describe it as overrated at all. I’d describe it as under-average at best, compared to other UK cities.

It's just like Dan Cruikshank was in the room " Naked women with their bangers out" 😊

Nottingham is a shadow of its former self . The "castle" is not worth a visit anymore ,Woolaton Hall is good tho . The caves and Halls of justice are OK ..not many good shops left . Places to eat ??? So so People..top notch .
