Nottingham, England
Sherwood Forest of Roundabouts
"Robin Hood Left, But the Tram Stayed"
Official Coat of Arms
A shield bearing a lone arrow that missed the sheriff entirely, quartered with a tram ticket machine that never accepts contactless, above a scroll reading 'Nil Desperandum, We Have Two Universities'. Surmounted by a small stone castle that is disappointingly smaller than the postcards suggest.
TripAdvisor Review
★★★☆☆ 3/5
"Went looking for Robin Hood, found a lot of roundabouts and a very confusing tram system instead. The castle is honestly more of a nice hill with a gate, which was a bit of a letdown after the legends, but the Lace Market area is genuinely lovely and the curry on Mansfield Road slaps. Also got rained on twice in one hour, so pack accordingly."— BrendaFromDerby_NeverAgain
Property Listing
Nestled in the vibrant East Midlands, this characterful city boasts TWO thriving universities, a legendary outlaw heritage, and excellent tram connectivity to absolutely everywhere you'd want to go! Ideally located for commuters, cave enthusiasts (yes, real caves under the city!), and anyone who enjoys a lively Friday night on Market Square.
Twinned With
Gotham — Both are famous for a legendary hooded figure who's more myth than daily reality at this point.
Supporting Evidence
Nottingham Castle isn't actually a medieval castle at all — the current building is a 17th-century ducal mansion, which has been disappointing tourists since 1679.
