Brewhouse Yard sits at the foot of Castle Rock in Nottingham, a historical site built around 17th-century cottages that tell the stories of four families connected to the city's textile trade. You can explore the area's medieval roots, its links to Nottingham Castle, and dramatic episodes such as the 1330 capture of Roger Mortimer. The caves also served as air raid shelters during the Second World War before the site became a museum in 1972. It suits visitors interested in local social history and industrial heritage. Admission is combined with Nottingham Castle, Museum & Grounds. Nottingham station is just 0.4 miles away, and with 44 bookable places to stay within 5 miles, it's easy to combine with a wider visit to the city.
