Are you here now? Sunday 30th July?😊

[@jonathancauldwell9822]

Surprised to see you visiting my area but glad you enjoyed the experience. Nottingham is one of the UK's Core Cities known for its nightlife and its shopping. Its two universities attract students from everywhere and many of them end up falling in love with the place and staying, possibly encouraged by the fact that property prices in the suburbs are far lower than those in comparable cities. It's worth checking out The Pit and the Pendulum, a gothic horror themed pub in Hockley; in true horror movie fashion the toilets are accessed via a secret passage behind a bookshelf...

[@NeverMind-g3h]

Not Nottingham,but I recommend My home city of Hull!, lots of free museums, art galleries ,interesting areas ,a great history ! Old cobbled streets ,great minster ,fab places to eat and drink ! The deep ! ,and the people are super friendly!

[@feebie08]

A few recommendations for your next Nottingham visit! - Pubs: Pit And The Pendulum, Canalhouse are both unique, fun pubs. Brunch / coffee: The Pudding Pantry, Dispatch, Cartweel, Blend, Yolk, 200 Degrees. I also reccomend Cured which is a cafe and bar, lovely seating by the canal. Burgers: Bohns is my favourite, but Annie's is also very popular.

[@anjunakerry82]

Hucknall (where I live) in Nottingham is worth a visit if you like your history, The church on the market is Lord Byron (the poet) final resting place. On the market outside the half moon pub with a statue in honor of his daughter Ada lovelace. She was a mathematician who worked on one of the first "Computers" the analytical engine. She's also buried in the same church as Lord byron. We have the blue plaque on the home of Eric Coates, The composer of the march of the dam busters music, amongst others. Then just a 5 minute drive we have Annesley Hall, a Grade II listed where Lord Byrons lover used to live. And then another 5 minutes drive, on the outskirts if Hucknall we have Newstead Abbey, A grade 1 building and the ancestral home of Lord byron himself. I think you'd like Annesley Hall and Newstead Abbey just for the architectural aspect of things. We are also the home of the harrier jump jet- well the flying bedstead, which the harrier jump jet is designed from. Unfortunately despite this awesome piece of engineering, The town seems to have missed a trick celebrating this. Other than a statue of the flying bedstead on a roundabout on the main by-pass, We don't have much about it. Which is a shame. A small museum would have been great. Do try and seek out 200 degrees in the city centre for the coffee though.

[@williamoates1754]

I was born in Nottingham 73 years ago and it is so nice to see ones home City through someone elses eyes.

[@susanashcroft2674]

I love your willingness to try local/traditional food and drink. You seem so at ease over here in the UK and I hope you continue to come back and keep on exploring and taking us with you on your journeys around the UK. Thank you.

[@TheMagicGeekdom]

Thank you!

[@Lee-nr4pw]

Ahhh also forgot to add, if by chance you are around the city again in September/October you must check out the ‘Goose fair’ - sadly nothing to do with a goose parade but the largest traveling fair in Europe - you can also Try another Nottingham ‘Delicacy’ minted mushy peas with vinegar 😅

[@sarahgreen653]

So glad you liked Nottingham. I was born here 46 years ago and I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. Two places in Notts that are definitely worth visiting are Wollaton Hall and park, and Newstead Abbey (The ancestral home of Lord Byron). Both are a very short distance from the city centre.

[@stephenhourd4653]

Welcome to Nottingham! Does anyone remember the old Robin Hood experience? you would sit in little cars and it moved you through different scenes (and smells!)

Someone else mentioned that and now I want to have experienced that version!

You could visit my hometown chesterfield we have a famous church called the crooked spire (the spire is crooked) you can go up there for a small fee, people come from all over to see it, just a thought , it was built in the 13th century xx

I have travelled to over 35 countries mainly in Asia, The Mediterranean countries, Arab speaking countries, Caribbean and Indian Ocean island countries (Maldives, Seychelles, Mauritius) but Nottingham is my home - born and bred. It is a wonderful city rich with culture, history, parks and great diversity of restaurants

[@thatleeburton]

[@badtothebone9426]

I grew up in the next village to Edwinstowe and as children we would climb inside the Major Oak as there were no barriers then. It really is quite spacious inside. As a student I remember drinking in the "Trip (to Jerusalem)" and sitting upstairs you would place your beer mat on top of your pint to stop the limestone collecting in the bottom of the glass.

[@TheMagicGeekdom]

Oh wow!

[@grumpyone5963]

Yes I remember going inside it as a kid with my sister and maybe 4-5 adults I think.

[@thesedreamsarefree]

When I was a kid, many years ago, it was just rambling woodland and dirt paths. We knew every twisting green pathway through the trees and bracken.

[@Eggerslolol]

aw thank you for visiting our little city, looks like you really made the most of it. and thank you for committing to saying "nottingham" the local way, i know that must have taken real willpower! as for coffee, 200 degrees, kigali or tough mary's bakehouse would be my recommendations

[@weedle30]

That was sooo interesting! I now want to visit Nottingham, but I am wheelchair disabled and parts of it (the bits I would want to visit the most!j do not look wheelchair/disabled friendly 😧 I would love to go to Sherwood Forest though! When are you coming to Kent (and meeting up with J&J 😉) again? Lots to see n do here!

As a local I have to say this was a pretty good tour! I’ve never been in the Robin Hood Experience so thanks for that 😂 You’ll be glad to know the Castle has re-opened 🙂 Lastly, sorry to correct you but you didn’t have a pint in a cave- you had a half! 🤣 Under normal circumstances I would call you a lightweight, but migraine is passable for an excuse and no beer was wasted, so all is well!

[@mikejamesporter]

Finally got around to watching this. Whilst you're right that Nottingham is a vast and vibrant city with so much to do, it's great to see you did my hometown justice on your first trip. For next time you want to go, I'd strongly recommend Malu Malu (formerly known as CookieShake/CookieLounge) on Parliament St (off the Old Market Square near the Victoria Shopping Centre) for your caffeine fix. The shakes are to die for and knowing you enjoy the off beat nature of Hockley, I think you'll like their themed bar with a twist vibe in there (or the nice little street take-out stand they have out front). Happy to share more recommendations should you go back again

[@CapturingSpain]

I've lived in Nottingham for 6 months in 2014/15 and loved it soooooooo much! The city has changed a lot, but you guys made me fall in love all over.

[@dogwithwigwamz.7320]

The only time I ever rememebr visiting the city of Nottingham must have been about 40 years ago. I wasn`t actuallty there to visit the city nor the Sheriff but the Bishop. I remember there being many rather huge houses in the outskirts of what seemed to me to be a very affluent area. Surely `Ye Olde` Trip to Jerusalem (1159) must have been a place to rendezvous for those wishing to join one of the Medieval Crusades ( ? ). Oh, yes. Ned Ludd. The founder of the Luddites. Their actions ( though understandable ) led to it being a Capital Offence - punishable by death - for anyone found to have sabotaged machinery. The machinery that was putting millions of people in this country out of work. I wonder whether those signs go back long enough that they date back to the time when it may have been fortuitous for some to deceive others as to which direction to take. The names just sticking, perhaps ?

[@JanetChamberlain-m9p]

When I was little, the Major Oak wasn't barriered off and didn't have all the props. You could go inside it - and it wouldn't fit many, but you could squeeze 2-3 adults inside the trunk.

[@frankmitchell3594]

Yes, I remember it just like that. (in the 1950's)

[@upendasana7857]

wow Nottingham looks like a really great city,thanks for showing us around alittle and I live in the UK but never been there. Also if you want a really good series on Robin Hood I strongly suggest Sherwood and a series made in the 80s with Michalel Praed,its one of the best Robin Hood protrayals ever and has loads of magic and folklore in it..its wonderful

Ooh we've had that in York I think. Good to know there's one in Nottingham!

[@johnwaldron7490]

If you do have a return visit to Nottingham and Jeremy seems to like Stilton Cheese. You are only 20/25 minutes away from the two villages where it’s made, Colston Bassett Dairy, and Long Clawson Dairy, both situated close to each other in the Vale of Belvoir ( pronounced Beaver ). I think they do pre arranged guided tours of it being made, but you would have to verify that. Also 30 minutes from Melton Mowbray the home of the famous Pork Pies, Tues is the best day as it’s market day in the town plus lots of traders in the cattle market ( no cows ).

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.

it's what makes it what it is. Vibrant, small seeming yet actually quite huge, but with the ability to get around really easily even just on bike.

For a bit of light reading, there is a similar legend even before Robin Hood who seems to have been a similar character. Harrewood was an Anglo-Saxon leader who based himself and his crew in the Fens down south. He fought against William the Conqueror in about 1070. When you read about his exploits, he certainly sounds like a candidate for Robin Hood. His wife had a similar strength of character and makes a perfect maid Marian (smile). You need to go to the primary sources such as the "Questa"

[@JackMellor498]

Note about the Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem. I have a CAMRA Pubs of the Year book for 2023 and it’s been postulated that the date on the front of the pub is rather doubtful and may have been put there to deceive pub crawlers and tourists. The Campaign for Real Ale group have often sent their team to the pub to ask if there’s any proof of the pub’s claimed age. They’re told “Yes there is, I’ll go find it for you” and disappear for a while only to come back and say it’s mysteriously nowhere to be found. Nottingham is a great city for a pub crawl though.

[@TheMagicGeekdom]

Oh interesting!

[@johnd6487]

There's a time team type programme on KZbin somewhere.. the Trip isn't even the oldest pub in Nottingham - although it may well have been a brewery for the castle that far back. The oldest is likely to be the Salutation, which is only a short walk away on the far side of Maid Marion way (and actually pretty much opposite the Ned Ludd).. but there is also The Bell just on the edge of the Market Square

Was in Market Square on 31st December 1999, great atmosphere, but even on an ordindary night out odd things could happen. I'll never forget one evening walking through Market Square and seeing a crowd gathered round a policeman with a sobbing girl. He was saying, "There are plenty more fish in the sea, look at you, you're a beautiful person, you'll find someone better". It was really lovely. And then I passed two very drunk guys and overheard one say "I told the judge, I said I draw the line at unconscious, but he still put me on that f**ing register...".

Coffee reccs- 200 degrees theres one on old market square- its in a lovely old building :) Another nice cafe is Blend at the contemporary art gallery, nice and spacious very chill. The gallery is free as well (Though contemporary art is a bit hit or miss it can be interesting!) Oh a good pub as well is the Canal house near the train station, its well...an old canal house! Extremely causal, nice pub grub and beer garden next to the river. The inside is really unique as well because the river goes inside it and there's an old boat docked there/ you have to walk over a little bridge to get to the bar. I hope you come back to Nottingham! I love living here and it was really cool to see you guys explore it- there's an art market every other Saturday down Cobden chambers- I sell art there sometimes :D

Nottingham had it`s day in the 60`s 70`s and 80`s when it was a vibrant bustling city and It was known as the Queen of the Midlands with the prettiest girls,. Clumber St. was the busiest shopping thoroughfare in Europe. Now most of the major stores and shops have closed down leaving mostly bars. novelty shops, charity shops and student accommodation. The City Council is tens of millions of pounds in debt. Internet trading companies including amazon are mostly to blame for the demise of the retail trade not just in Nottingham but in most other towns.
