School Visits Nottinghamshire
inspiration and ideas
Nottinghamshire, in the heart of England, perhaps best known for the folk tales of Robin Hood, is home to over a million people. Major towns include Nottingham, Mansfield, Newark-on-Trent and Worksop.
The geography and landscape is dominated by Sherwood Forest, and the county's major river, The Trent. Nottinghamshire has a rich history for study, with everyone from prehistoric peoples of the stone age, the Romans and Vikings, onwards, recognising the county's strategic importance and leaving traces of the time they spent here. During the Industrial Revolution, the coal seams and iron ore boosted the local economy.
Nottinghamshire is a wonderful place for school visits, with lots of outdoor residential centres, and plenty of curriculum focused day visits to help with your class topics.
