Nottingham is one of the largest cities in the East Midlands, possibly most famous for its links with Robin Hood and Sherwood Forest. Folklore aside, the city was a key player in the industrial revolution and, in the sporting domain, the city is home to Nottingham Forest Football Club. Trent Bridge Cricket Ground is also located here. Shopping facilities consistently rank amongst the UK's best, as does the nightlife. The city is particularly well served by airports, so car hire from Nottingham is ideal. The surrounding countryside, parks and stately homes also hold a strong appeal for visitors, and it's worth hiring a car in Nottingham and exploring wider Nottinghamshire.
East Midlands Airport is particularly close to Nottingham, and Robin Hood Airport is a car journey north of the city towards Doncaster, making car hire in Nottingham very popular. Arrivals in the city might head straight to the Victoria Centre for some retail therapy, and sports fans may be on the way to the City Ground to watch Forest play. Nottingham Castle is a must, and the Galleries of Justice are as informative as they are fascinating. Rent a car from Nottingham, and Wollaton Hall and Deer Park are a very short drive from the city centre along the A52; alternatively head north on the A614 through Sherwood Forest to the lovely surrounds of Clumber Park.
