The City Of Caves

Nottingham has the UK's largest network of caves - over 800 are hidden beneath its streets. At The City of Caves, you can discover the largest publicly available section of this vast underground network. Enjoy a memorable adventure in history at the heart of this subterranean wonder. Immerse yourself in the winding passageways of an underground world. Discover the lives of the people who found themselves living and working in this extraordinary environment. Soak up the extraordinary atmosphere of the ancient caves carved deep beneath Nottingham’s city centre, including WW2 air raid shelters and a medieval tannery. Due to the confined nature of the site, we stagger entry times to the City of Caves and limit group size to allow for a comfortable visit. We strongly recommend booking your tickets in advance, especially for busy periods such as weekends and school holidays.
