City Of Caves

Enter and explore a whole new world in the caves underneath Nottingham city and descend into the dark depths of the original Anglo-Saxon tunnels, meeting real cave-dwellers from its dramatic hidden past.

See how these caves have been used and adapted over the Centuries by local people to escape and take refuge from the world above. This set of man-made caves was almost lost forever when the modern shopping centre was built. Thanks to local voluntary groups, the caves were saved and are now open to visitors.

Experience the sight, sounds and smells of a real medieval English tannery at work. Visit the mystical well and make all your wishes come true in a time of mystery and magic. Head to the Anderson Shelter to take refuge from the Nottingham Blitz and discover more hidden caves yet to be discovered!
