Weekend in Nottingham 15-18 December 2017

Athol attended a poetry workshop in Hockley, Nottingham on Saturday so we decided to make a weekend out of it.

Nottingham is known for the tale of Robin Hood as the Sherwood Forest is nearby. There's a statue of Robin Hood by the Nottingham Castle.

It is a nice vibrant city with tons of shops, even two malls. There are trams in the city. Nottingham has over 500 sandstone caves under the city. Really liked the city. There was a big Christmas market by the Old Market Square, there was a fair and even an ice rink. It was very busy!


This was the Sky Mirror, an art piece by the Nottingham Playhouse.



 There is a lovely canal tow path.
 This is Mortimer's Hole by the Castle.


 Had a lovely breakfast at  Pitcher and Piano, which is a chapel converted restaurant/bar.
