East MidlandsThe 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.
But Nottingham has more to offer than Robin Hood; the city has a long heritage as a centre of the lace industry. At The Lace Centre you can trace the history of Nottingham lace and try your hand at making some yourself. Medieval Nottingham Castle is now a city museum and art centre, and the nearby Costume and Textile Museum displays costumes of the past 200 years in a series of period room settings.
