Nottingham Walkabout

This morning was a bit colder than of late, so after breakfast we decided to go into town and explore.
Our first port of call was the castle but Al really wanted to go to a café she saw yesterday.

The place was called Kitty Café and as you entered you had to pay a small fee as it was full of rescue cats.

Al was in her element, with kittens and full grown cats all over the place..
It was full of tables and chairs with scratching post and shelves for the cats to climb over.. It was a lot of fun watching them play with each other..

After managing to get Al out of there we went up to Nottingham Castle.

it was eight pounds to get in which we didn't think was too bad and it turned out to be well worth it..

 You have good views over Nottinghamshire and there is loads of interesting information on the Castle.

From there we went to the Cathedral and to be honest was a bit disappointed, but you have to see these places..

We then went to the Lace Markets and first it was difficult to find, we even asked a policeman and he couldn't really tell us where it was, but pointed us in the right direction.. Well we did find it and were disappointed again as it was a lot of lovely beautiful Lace factory buildings but no lace..

Not even one shop selling lace, so much could be done here to make it a great tourist attraction.
We then grabbed a quick bite to eat in Pret and then walked down to the Wharf at a place called Canalside.

Here you go into a canal boat dock which is surrounded by a bar with tables and chairs. We want our blacking done here next time...
