Nottingham, County town in Nottinghamshire, United Kingdom
Nottingham sits on elevated terrain at 61 meters above sea level, featuring a combination of medieval structures and contemporary buildings across its urban landscape.
The settlement gained strategic importance after William the Conqueror constructed Nottingham Castle in 1068, establishing it as a major Norman stronghold.
The designation as UNESCO City of Literature in 2015 reflects the literary contributions of authors Lord Byron and D.H. Lawrence who shaped the region.
The city operates an extensive transportation network with trams, buses, and trains, connecting all districts through Nottingham Express Transit and railway stations.
The underground cave network beneath the city contains over 500 sandstone caves, dating from medieval times when they served as dwellings and storage spaces.
