The days of heavy engineering and coal production in Nottinghamshire are mostly gone, but today locals are employed in a range of sectors. Among them are retail (Boots is based here), energy (E.On has a large office here) and finance (Experian runs a big operation in the county).
And the University of Nottingham and the Nottingham Trent University both employ thousands, as does the NHS.
Sherwood Forest, Nottinghamshire
Relax and unwind in this beautifully kept estate, where you can see deers roam freely. The centrepiece is Wollaton Hall (1580s), called “the architectural sensation of its age” – thanks to its ostentatious and utterly beautiful facade.
Perched on a sandstone crag known as Castle Rock, Nottingham Castle was largely torn down after the English Civil War, to stop it being re-used. The Baroque Ducal Mansion was built on its place by Henry Cavendish, the 2nd Duke of Newcastle, and in 1878 it was turned into a museum. See 15th Century alabaster carvings, Wedgwood jasperware pottery, and watercolours by Richard Bonnington.
More than 450 caves lie beneath Nottingham, under what is now the Broadmarsh Shopping Centre. The human-made caves have been used for thousands of years and remain one of the shire’s most fascinating attractions. Tours are available.
