Nottingham and Sherwood Forest, April 26, 2009

I went to Nottingham which is the city most hit by the recession in my experience thus far. The lace market is closed and the lace centre had closed the day before I arrived.

There was lots of high end shopping, Robin Hood Monument and the Castle.

On the way back we decided it would be a good idea to stop by the Sherwood Forest- where we found it hard to find Sherwood trees. There is the legendary "Major Oak" which we found after climbing a few fences but found it a little disappointing as it is held up by steel beams.
