Nottinghamshire in the Midlands has traditionally been an important industrial county, built on the large coal reserves of the region. Nottinghamshire is easily accessible using both M1 and A1, with good rail links to most of the country and Robin Hood airport for visitors from further afield. Nottinghamshire’s largely central landlocked position means it is bordered by four other counties including South Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire and Leicestershire.
