about Nottingham?
My brother is moving there and I'm just real curious about the place
Of course I am already familiar with the legend of Robin Hood
I've also read a little about the city on tourism homepages
But what's your opinion and experience of the city?
Nice place, I went there last month (I should been going there frequently, since is just half an hour from my University by train). Nice place, the Castle is nice, but not that impressive. The place is embebed with the Robin Hood lore and since is full of shops, some of the guys at my office called it "Shoppingham". You will even find tons of SW memorabiblia. And is quiet cheap compared to other cities and also clean. The only downside, from what i have been told from people that lives there is that is a little bit insecure (mugs and some street fights).
I like the city, but if you are expecting something with a lot of medieval stuff, the better go to Edinburgh, Notthingham is quite modern in that sense.
