However, having now gone back and checked his message I am not sure, because Cambridge definitely isn't in Lincolnshire. Must have been one of his little jokes. Chester is in Cheshire & York in Yorkshire both are extremely historic places and well worth visiting. There are many photos of both places here on POE. Why not check them out and see what they have to offer? Hi Rick. Cathy is correct, we here in Oxford don't mention the 'other' word and so I was trying to be funny in suggesting that it's not where one might expect it to be. Sorry if it confused you, but the reality is that BOTH are very nice places to visit (see got away without mentioning it again.) Of course Oxford is by far the nicest place to visit!

Click on Attractions and all the attractions will be listed in and around Nottingham (or Nottinghamshire). Then depending on your preferences - country parks, historical buildings, Museums etc., you will be able to look at the photos of the places and choose what appeals to you most. Other attractions close by can also be looked at and a map giving you some idea of where everything is. The same technique can be used for any town/county that you may be interested in visiting or to compare what the place has to offer with another possible place. Good luck, have lots of fun looking at the possibilities! My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

A place of intrest close to where you will be staying is the Crich Transport museum, well worth a visit on a dry day as most of it is outside and over a large area. Vintage trams and historic things etc. Another place worth a visit close by would be Alton towers, a large manor house set in a country estate with a huge modern inland funfair.
