Nottingham is of course famous for Robin Hood, Maid Marion and Friar Tuck to mention just three of the Merry Band who roamed Sherwood Forest which is all in the county of Nottinghamshire, all part of our English history. Further to the east on the road to Lincoln is the part ruined Newark Castle where Prince John attempted to foil the exploits of Robin and his men. The River Trent which runs through the county is also connect to the canal system known as the Grand Union Canal reaching Merseyside, Shropshire, Worcestershire, Birmingham and London. In this modern day and age these canals are used as leisure pursuits and highly decorated narrow boats can be seen along this system attempting to navigate the locks and canal ways. The furniture and utensils are also given the same treatment giving a splash of bright colour to these vessels. A number of companies specialise in this type of holiday accommodation.
