Nottinghamshire Holiday Accommodation |
||||
| Nottinghamshire (abbreviated Notts) is an English county in the East Midlands, which borders South Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, Leicestershire and Derbyshire. The county town is traditionally Nottingham, though the council is now based in West Bridgford, just outside the city. The traditional county town, and the largest settlement in Nottinghamshire, is Nottingham. The town is now administratively independent, but suburbs including Arnold, Carlton, West Bridgford, Beeston and Stapleford are still within the administrative county. |

| There are several market towns in Nottinghamshire. Newark-on-Trent is a bridging point of the Fosse Way and River Trent, but is actually an Anglo-Saxon market town with a now ruined Castle. Mansfield sits on the site of a Roman settlement, but grew after the Norman Conquest. Worksop, in the north of Nottinghamshire, is also an Anglo-Saxon market town which grew rapidly in the industrial revolution with the arrival of canals and railways and the discovery of coal. Other market towns in Nottinghamshire include Arnold, Bingham, Hucknall, Kirkby-in-Ashfield, and Retford. |  |
