Situated on the banks of the River Trent, Nottingham is a large city with a rich heritage. According to folklore, the outlaw Robin Hood lived in Sherwood Forest and came from nearby Loxley. Countless tales have been told of Robin Hood’s battles with the evil Sheriff of Nottingham and the city takes enormous pride in Robin. The city is also home to the oldest football team in the football league, Notts County, as well as two-time European Champions Nottingham Forest. Nottingham is a city of amazing stories, so hire a car in the city and realise its full potential.
Renting a car in Nottingham and taking a trip to Sherwood Forest really is a must for anyone in the city. This 450 acre is country park is made up of 900 oak trees including the Royal Oak - legend has it this is the tree that Robin and his Merry Men called home. Why not visit the house that another famous crusader calls home? The glorious Wollaton Hall is set in a 500 acre deer park and was the filming location for Wayne Manor in the Batman films. In the city centre a variety of great museums and art galleries are open to the public. We recommend starting with the excellent Galleries of justice.
