| Nottingham Travel Guide for backpackers |
| This is Robin Hood country, and home to D.H. Lawrence, the author of Lady Chatterley's Lover, and the romantic poet, Lord Byron. Something in the air must produce all this energy, unless it comes from living in the heart of the East Midlands with all its folklore and ancients homesteads, castles, and churches. |

 DAILY BUDGET in NOTTINGHAM - If you enjoy camping, or staying in hostels, and love knocking up little delicacies over a campfire, such as baked beans and beans, then you could get away with US$40 a day. If, however, you prefer to exist just above the utterly poverty-stricken and no way back line, then be prepared to fork out at least US $72 a day, for a comfortable bed in a B&B, restaurant meals, and checking out the paying sights. |
Brewhouse Yard Museum - Five 17th-century cottages sitting at the base of Castle Rock make up this intriguing tableau of Nottingham life as it once was.
Nottingham Castle Museum and Art Gallery - Built in 1679, the castle was restored in 1878, and opened as a provincial museum and is worth seeing, especially during the week, when entrance fees are reduced.
Sherwood Forest - 450 acres wooded by oak and silver birch trees, with woodland glades, villages, and farm fields making up this famous forest, where the legend of Robin Hood and his Merry Men began.

That Cafe Bar - Located on Heathcote street, this outlet sells Far Eastern food at reasonable prices.
The Far Pavilion - On Radcliffe Rd, this Indian delight is both good and cheap, well worth checking out.
Siam Thani - Found in Hockley, this is the best Thai food outlet for miles around, and makes the eating experience even better with great service.
Siam Thani - I suspect the last message was written by the proprietors. In my experience the food is expensive, very poor and the service is the worst of any restaurant i have come across. Absolutely terrible!!
Siam Thani - Best Thai food in Nottingham. Reasonable prices. First class service
Lantong Thai Restaurant - beautiful basement restaurant the food is fantastic!.the price is not expensive and the service is very friendly.

Lincolnshire Poacher - At 61 Mansfield Road, this pub sells a broad selection of ales and is close to the city centre.
Fellows, Morton and Clayton - At 54 Canal Street, this hangout is popular with students and is conveniently situated next to the canal, so when you feel a bit, well, you know, snot-flying drunk… you can always take a quick dip to refresh you.
Trip to Jerusalem - Located at 1 Brewhouse Yard, Castle Rd., this is quite possibly the oldest inn in England and was cut out of the castle rock in AD 1189. Imagine getting off your face with all those old ghosts from the past three thousand years hanging around… talk about tripping!
