The
East Midlands is England’s hidden treasure.
Centred on the counties of Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire,
it offers a mix of stunning countryside, vibrant
cities and beautiful coastline. Wide-open skies,
ever changing horizons, space to breathe, time
to relax, it’s all here in this heritage-rich
area where history springs to life.
Key attractions include the Peak District National
Park, Robin Hood and Sherwood Forest, the historic
Roman city of Lincoln, Leicester’s National
Space Centre, Rutland Water and Althorp House,
final resting place of Diana, Princess of Wales.
At Lincoln, the superb medieval cathedral is notable
for its extraordinary exterior, the west front,
in particular, is magnificent in its use of sculptural
detail and the richness of its design.
In the medieval remains of Lincoln Castle, you
can visit exhibits on the Magna Carta and a reconstructed
Prison Chapel.
Nottingham is known to most tourists for its association
with the legends of Robin Hood. At The Tales of
Robin Hood attraction you can trace the "real"
story behind the legends, and enjoy a medieval
banquet. At the Sherwood Forest Visitor Centre
you can see the Major Oak, reputedly the place
where Robin Hood and his Merry Men gathered.
