Nottingham Castle Museum

Nottingham Castle, on a rock 133ft/40m high, affords a good view of the town. Outside it are the bronze statues (1952) of Robin Hood and his merry men by the Nottingham-born sculptor James Woodford.

The old castle was destroyed in 1651 by Parliamentary forces and replaced by an Italian-style palace belonging to the Duke of Newcastle. This was burned down in 1831 but later rebuilt.
