Had a trip around the castle today. The gardens are so relaxing. Very very well maintained and looks beautiful. The staff were excellent, Friendly, warm and all willing to have a joke and full of smiles. If you have kids there is a rather good little play area for them to discharge some of that energy they have. My partner wanted to do the cave tour but I was not that keen on it. I’m so glad she persuaded me to do it. For just £5 we got an over one hour tour. This was delivered by Barry who you can tell is completely in love with the history of Nottingham and the caves at Nottingham Castle. His knowledge was brilliant, his delivery was fantastic and his attitude to giving us a tour to remember was second to none. I remember standing listening to Barry talking about events hundreds of years ago thinking it happened yesterday. Well done to Barry first class delivery. The caves themselves were an experience to be stood at the point of some historic events in our history was quite humbling. Well worth the £15 entry and if you ask my humble opinion £5 for the cave tour is far too low. I’d have happily paid double for that experience.
Absolutely lovely place to spend a couple hours. Overlooking Nottingham, would suggest to do the tour of the caves where our experience guide Fiona had us laughing as she shared the history of the castle and the surrounding area. Always good to get the inside scoop over the centuries to get a better idea to the lives of the people, some who partied and others who struggled. Imperative to do the tour of the caves for an extra 5 pounds! Also, the opportunity need to take the time and walk through the art galleries is a must along with a nice cup of coffee and a dessert from the little café.
Barry the caves tour guide is a master history and story teller. He is extremely knowledgeable and full of charisma. He definitely brought us back in time. His party Harry was great also. The 2 young ladies at the entrance counter were extremely helpful and hilarious. Humor is important. God bless.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Visited Nottingham Castle and had a great experience overall! The historical significance and beautiful views make it a must-visit. However, some areas were under renovation during my visit, which slightly impacted the experience. Nonetheless, I highly recommend it for history buffs and those seeking a glimpse into Nottingham's past.
The restored mansion of the medieval period with a backdrop of Robin Hood's tussles with the dastardly sheriff of Nottingham. Easy to explore in a day and the staff are super friendly. The Cave tour is most recommended and the guide will take you to the several time periods and make the history as a cup of coffee. lovely place , high quality galleries, wide space to spend time with family and kids. I enjoyed the exhibition galleries, interactive displays, children adventure area in the old castle moat themed on Robinhood's era. The location itself occupies a commanding position on a natural promontory called as "Castle Rock" which dominates the city skyline with cliffs.
Very interesting experience. Past mixed with new technologies. The place is huge, 3 floors, a lot of history, amazing views, interesting interactions like shouting from a bow and dressing up as peasants : worth visiting. It took us 45 Minutes, but we were in a hurry. I think it may be a 2 hrs attraction. They have a little coffee inside and a souvenir shop. History lessons are done by interactive people on the screen. You can also watch cartoons about certain events around the castle.
The castle has been closed for so long I was looking forward to visiting finally but it has been renovated poorly. It's nice to look at from the outside but it's sad that there's hardly any original features left after the restorations. Nice views from the top. It doesn't feel like a Castle/palace at all, it's just a gallery now with a cafe and some bits of Nottingham history. This should be so much better. The grounds could be put to better use. Not somewhere you'd visit multiple times.
Excellent and interesting venue. Lots to see and do. New renovations to visitor centre and Castle exhibitions have been a super improvement and enables experiences for all ages to enjoy.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Very interactive exibition. Kids will love it. A couple of hours was enough to walk around the castle. The only upsetting thing is that caves tour runs certain hours and needs to be pre-booked early in the morning.
I really enjoy wandering around the castle grounds on a sunny day, and taking a look at the art gallery and museum when the weather is not so good. 2 nice cafes and a lovely atmosphere. Tours available but not got around to it yet.
