Nottingham earned its reputation as a remarkable tourist destination in the United Kingdom, thanks to the famous Sherwood Forest. Over the years, its tourism offerings have further diversified. Called the “Queen of the Midlands”, the city boasts broad streets and spectacular parks. It is also known for being the center of the lace industry in the UK.
