Tours of Caves

With so much history, mythology and intrigue buried in the caves below Nottinghamshire – you might start to feel a little lost - so why not let an expert guide shed some light onto the caves and their histories?

Guarantee that you’ll see every nook and cranny of what’s to offer, and gain access caves that are ordinarily off-limits to the public, by booking your place on one of the special tours offered by local guides - who are bursting with knowledge, stories and personality.

The City of Caves is Nottingham's number one attraction to learn about the history of Nottingham's unique underground world, and a perfect family day out on a rainy day. Here, you can soak up the extraordinary atmosphere of the ancient caves carved deep beneath Nottingham’s city centre, including WW2 air raid shelters and a medieval tannery.

Follow Robin Hood into the darkness on your visit to Nottingham Castle and descend into the remarkable caves that snake through Castle Rock on a 25-minute tour exploring the foundations of the medieval Castle. Suitable for families and young children, you will hear tales of Nottingham and its historic Castle in the atmospheric underground caves where the stories actually took place. Pre-booking is highly reccomended for these popular tours!

For those feeling brave, why not book onto the Original Nottingham Ghost Walk? It takes place every Saturday, and you can expect to hear about some strange goings on all over Nottingham. A storytelling tour around the Castle Quarter of the city, it is easy walking and about 1/2 mile long and takes approximately 90 minutes to 2 hours. The tour starts at Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem, where you will learn all about the haunted caves beneath the iconic building!
