Whether you want to walk the forest, cycle it, play golf in it or even go horse riding through it you can do whatever you wish. A great place to visit in good weather, Sherwood Forest is a great day out. Nottinghamshire also has an impressive array of man-made attractions too. Buildings such as Wollaton Hall, Nottingham Castle, Thoresby Hall and Hardwick Hall are magnificent constructions with a rich heritage, and all open to the public. With impressive stately grounds too these buildings rank among some of the finest in Britain.  Plenty of Natioanl Trust properties can also be found in Nottinghamshire including Belton House, Clumber Park and Southwell Workhouse.   The City of Caves network in the heart of Nottingham is a very unique attraction which is well worth a visit. Comprising of a series of caves carved out of sandstone, the City of Caves has been used at various times as a tannery, public house cellar and air raid shelter.
