About Curious About Nottingham
Curious About Nottingham gives an enlightening view into what makes this legendary city, home to Robin Hood and Maid Marian, what it is.
Take both walks, or enjoy them separately, if you have the time and energy, and haven't been distracted by too many of our suggestions for things to see and do on the way! Expand your knowledge, be entertained and challenged, and get out in some fresh air exploring! Walks typically take 1 to 2 hours each.
1. Canal to Market Square - 1.5 miles / 1.5 hours, Wheelchair/buggy friendly (with small diversions)
From the leisurely Nottingham Canal with its colourful barges, you quickly ascend the hill which leads to Nottingham’s infamous castle. Pass a former hospital and the leafy Playhouse, before descending to the depths of a darkened tunnel! Now it’s past a cathedral and a host of restaurants, before arriving at the splendour of Nottingham’s vast and vibrant Market Square!
2. Market Square to Lace Market - 1 mile / 1 hour, Wheeelchair/buggy friendly (with small diversion)
Starting at City Hall this walk quickly makes its way up to the Lace Market district, with its magnificent Victorian buildings. Catch a glimpse of the National Ice Arena, ancient burial grounds, and a former court and gaol where prisoners were hung! End your walk at Weekday Cross, the place of ancient markets.
