Caves of Nottingham Caves of Nottingham No Data

Description


Nottingham itself is built on Sandstone which is easy to dig and tunnel through. As such it is now littered with caves. One of the largest set is beneath one of the shopping centres. During the week an audio guided tour takes in all the aspects of the use of the caves from the earliest times up to their use in the war and their potential loss when the shopping centre was being planned. At weekends a guide takes you round the caves, and points out where you leave the cave system - but are still inside the concrete box of the shopping centre, with the face of the cliff that forms the caves clearly visible.
