Robin Hood Country

This tour to Nottingham sees the city in two halves – good and evil, rich and poor and revolution vs resistance. 

Learn about the workhouse that shaped the way that the poor were treated and decide for yourselves whether this national institution was a last resort or a lifeline.

Take a step back in time with, Nottingham’s own Robin Hood, Ezekial Bone, as you tour the Victorian Lace Market, learning of the city’s evolution from knitting rags to lacy riches. 

By contrast, take to the waters in style and admire the Gothic architecture at Lincoln Cathedral and explore the ancestral home and gardens of Belvoir Castle – more commonly associated with its role as Windsor Castle in ‘The Crown’.
