Ambassador for Visit England 2013 Ezekial Bone is Robin Hood!

Join him on an adventure around Nottingham and discover the truth of the legend. Follow a trail of historical facts and learn how simple ballads over 700 years old grew into one of the greatest stories ever told.

This thorough and fun exploration of the legend is told against the theatrical back drop of the City. As you visit places associated with Robin Hood, you will also see the town's key sites of interest and learn about its history and culture.

Understand why Nottingham Castle isn’t a castle. Marvel at the stunning architecture of the Lace Market. Shudder on the steps of the Old County Gaol and find peace in St Mary’s Churchyard. Descend into Saxon caves beneath the streets. Landmarks like the Council House, Old Market Square, the Theatre Royal and other, quirky surprises await you on this adventure around town. The tour ends at Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem where Robin Hood invites you to drink ale with him!

Robin Hood Lace Market Tour * : From ‘place of caves’ to the Saxon town of Robin Hood’s day and to scenic garden town, this area was transformed by industry into a dark jungle of slums. It went on to become the Lace capital of the world and Nottingham the ‘Queen of the Midlands’. Renowned for its landmark buildings, each of which tells of its own chapter of Nottingham history, its cobbled streets have inspired some of the most famous literary creations in the world…
