The Queen of the Midlands, England
Nottingham – Castle and Local
Nottingham is to get some bad press recently with city problems interior of the gun crime and robbery. While there is no doubt that these problems exist, Nottingham remains for me a great city full of interesting places to see both old and new.
Nottingham is located in central England and is often referred to as The Queen of the Midlands. The city has always been of strategic importance.
Nottinghamshire field always good hunting grounds of the Kings and the forest provided a refuge for bandits in particular the famous Robin Hood. Although much of the forest has disappeared Now, Nottinghamshire still retains some of the best forests in England with ancient oaks, the oldest of whom is Major Oak. Legend has it that Robin Hood hid in the trunk of this tree to escape bad Sheriff of Nottingham.
The city of Nottingham has a rich and colorful history. These are just a couple of places to wet your appetite.
Nottingham Castle
At the heart of the city is Nottingham Castle, situated on a rocky promontory of sandstone that dominates the city. The original castle was built in this city by order of William the Conqueror in 1067.
1 Henry later replaced the wooden structure with a massive stone castle. This was to remain for hundreds of years as one of the most important castles in England.
Notorious Sheriff of Nottingham lived here when Richard Coeur de Lion was in the 'Third Crusade', providing the stage for the final showdown between the legendary sheriff and Robin Hood.
The castle provided a rallying point for 11 Charles during the English Civil War. Charles raised the royal standard, near the castle to mark the beginning of the war. A stone in the middle of the road in Standard Hill marks the spot.
There is a labyrinth of caves and tunnels under the castle. The most famous of them is Mortimer hole in this usurper of the throne of Edward 111 was captured and later executed.
The original castle was almost destroyed. What we see today is a century mansion XVII built on the original site. Since the late nineteenth century has been a world-renowned museum, home to thousands of objects and art collections. With its dungeons and activities for children from Nottingham Castle is well worth a visit.
Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem
Carved into the sandstone below the castle Nottingham this is supposedly the oldest pub in the world. Founded in 1189, the inn of rest and always drinks the Crusaders of Richard the Lionheart during the "Third Crusades.
Walking inside is like going back in time. The pub is associated with many fascinating legends that can be discovered more than a fine of half liter "real ale." The pub is said to be haunted – You have been warned!
