Nottingham

We left our Motel just before 9am, and following the signs, headed in the direction of Nottingham Castle - not as easy as it sounds !!! Nottingham has a one way street system, that defies logic. In the end we decided to ask directions, and a nice man said "Just follow me" !! We were actually very close to the castle, but from where we were, it took about 10mins drive to actually get to it. There isn't much of the original Castle left , just the, gate house, the outer wall and some of the bridges - there is now a stately home on the site, which is a Museum.just near the entrance to the castle was the oldest Inn in England. From Nottingham Castle next stop was Sherwood Forrest. It had a magical feel - it is easy to see how someone could hide in the Forrest. Being a Robin Hood believer, I had a great time - John, however is still not convinced !!!After having found Robin Hood (or at least the legend) we were back in the car and off the York
