Why Choose Nottinghamshire for a Hot Tub Break?
A hot tub holiday in Nottinghamshire is a journey into history and folklore. This is the county of the "Dukeries," home to grand aristocratic estates and the legendary stomping ground of Robin Hood. It offers a landscape of deep, ancient woodland and red-brick market towns that feel distinct from the rest of the UK.
Beyond the legends, it is a destination of hidden grandeur. You can explore the English Civil War history at Newark Castle, walk the limestone gorges of Creswell Crags, or simply enjoy the peace of the open farmland that inspired Lord Byron.
