Canal & narrow boats

Just do it!

There are so many things to do throughout Nottinghamshire. For the active, there's horseriding, hiking and ice skating.

You can explore the county on foot, cycle or horseback with self guided route packs. Covering Sherwood Forest, the historic towns of Newark and Southwell and many others, they're full of local history and Nottinghamshire’s most famous sights. Why not download a copy of Out and About before your trip.

For the even more adventurous among you, visit the National Watersports Centre. Here you can canoe, row, sail, water ski and even risk white water rafting. Or for a more leisurely day, take a waterside stroll, go fishing, play golf or hire a bicycle. You’ll be spoiled for choice…

If you're staying over in the city then check out our list of approved Nottingham hotels. Nottinghamshire and Sherwood Forest are great options for UK family holidays and our Robin Hood breaks website has everything you need. For that home away from home try our range of Nottingham bed and breakfasts (B&Bs) or our approved Nottingham holiday cottages.
