15 Best Things to Do in Nottingham (Nottinghamshire, England
"Set in the heart of the Peak District on the pretty banks of the river Derwent lies the magnificent Chatsworth House, by Bakewell, the seat of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire. Rich in history, the house has been in the Cavendish family since the 1500s, passing down through 16 generations. It is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the Peak District, encompassing over 30 rooms containing significant collections of artwork, ancient artefacts and sculptures spanning 4000 years."
"You may call me "Lizzie" for every day,"My Peral” for Sunday."Goddness Divine", but only on very social occassions.You may only call me "Mrs. Darcy" when you are compeletely, and perfectly, and incandescently happy."
"One of England's greatest country houses, Chatsworth House, known as the Palace of the Peak, is the ancestral home of the dukes of Devonshire…"
"Standard Hill, Park Row, Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, NG1 6GN. From the team behind the magnificent Hambleton Hall in Rutland, it’s no surprise that Hart’s is a formidable restaurant. Expect contemporary British fare in a smart dining room punctuated by cosy booths and soft lighting."
"This boutique hotel is a 3-minute walk from the city centre. It has an award-winning restaurant, a private car park and stunning views. Hart’s Hotel is located in a quiet cul-de-sac away from the noise of traffic and nightlife."
"The fine-dining restaurant will be taking it outside to the courtyard on April 12. Fans of the up-market haunt can reserve a table for snacks, afternoon tea or the à la carte menu. And staff are prepared for the elements."
"So this *technically* isn’t a bottomless brunch, however, we think it’s definitely still worth a place on the list - it’s The Hockley Arts Club’s bottomless afternoon tea. If you want to add some elegance to your indulgence then this is the occasion for you. Taking place every Saturday at The Hockley Arts Club, diners can enjoy a decadent afternoon tea, complete with finger sandwiches, cakes and other sweet treats, accompanied with the restaurant’s signature iced-tea pot cocktails."
"A post shared by The Hockley Arts Club (@thehockleyartsclub) on Jul 5, 2018 at 7:35am PDT. You won’t find many places more Insta-worthy in Nottingham than Hockley Arts Club. With neon signs, gorgeous cocktails and a third-floor “electric garden”, then you’re really spoiled for choice when it comes to photography."
"Spread across three floors, this fun speakeasy bar boasts a vintage look and a run of innovative cocktails. The food is worth your time too though, thanks to thoughtfully chosen charcuterie and bottomless afternoon tea."
"Described as a magnificent 17th-century ducal mansion, Nottingham Castle sits atop cliffs 40m (130ft) high, offering fabulous views of the city. Originally built in 1067 by William the Conqueror and then rebuilt by a series of other kings, Nottingham Castle is embedded in history. Offering a medieval-to-modern British and European art collection, this ancient building has a lot of culture for visitors who wish to take a step back from the energetic city life."
"Once spoken of in the same terms as the Tower of London and Windsor Castle, Nottingham Castle looks over the city from its high sandstone crag known as Castle Rock. As with many strongholds in England the castle was torn down in the wake of the English Civil War to prevent it being re-used. Afterwards Henry Cavendish, the 2nd Duke of Newcastle, built the Baroque Ducal Mansion on the remains and in 1878 the Nottingham Castle Museum opened in this building."
"Over the past couple of years, Baresca has become the go-to tapas bar in Nottingham, whether you fancy Catalan bread and eggs for breakfast or sharing bowls of mushroom risoni with friends over dinner. The décor feels fresh yet rustic, with patterned mosaic tiles on the floor and low-hanging bulbs highlighting chefs at work in the open kitchen. We recommend going for the menu of the day (flatbreads, a dip, two tapas and a side for £10.95)."
"Tapas restaurants are more than a passing trend for Notts foodies, who still hold them in high regard. Baresca, tucked away down Byard Lane, offers ‘a slice of Barcelona’ to Nottingham diners and specialises mouthwatering tapas such as oloroso sticky ribs and mackerel escabeche. It’s relaxed but lively, with three floors for eating and drinking, plus regular live music, at the venue in Byard Lane."
"Baresca serves up the best of Spanish cuisine, and they have a bunch of vegetarian and vegan-friendly dishes on their menu, so you’re in luck. Who doesn’t love patatas bravas, right?. This is a great place to go with friends for a bite to eat and a few sangrias and beers."
