Castle Rock dominates Nottingham from above the Trent floodplain. The first castle, built here in 1068, was replaced by a stone upgrade in the 13th century. It remained an important royal residence for hundreds of years. Today, fragments of the early castles remain around an Italianate ducal palace built in the 1670s by the first Duke of Newcastle. Gutted by Reform Act rioters in 1831, the building lay derelict for 40 years before becoming the first municipally-owned museum and art gallery outside London. It is still Nottingham's main museum, with ancient Greek artefacts, the regimental museum of the Sherwood Foresters and a display about the castle's varied history.
Just below the castle are statues and plaques depicting the Robin Hood legend and nearby is the famous “Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem “ pub.
You are looking for a small container containing log book,pencil and small items.
