Nottingham, UK: The Industrial Revolution meets a rebel with a cause

Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem, one of England's oldest pubs, sits lazily under the regal Nottingham castle; modern wanderers explore the secrets of the Caves; creative spirits check out (for free!) the latest goings-on at the Nottingham Contemporary; shoppers dig out the best finds at Lace Market's second-hand shops; or discover the latest indie film releases at the nearby Broadway cinema. Historic buildings rub shoulders with the remnants of the Industrial Revolution, giving the city a fairytale aura - modern or old.
When you tire of it all, just chill out with beers and blues music down at the pubs by the canal.
