I went when I first came to Nottingham. It's really cheap to go but still a wase of money. They've just got lots of old scary looking statues. If you want to do something historic in Nottingham go to the Galleris of Justice, it's awesome, DO NOT choose the Castle, it's the worst castle you'll ever visit. More

made me quite claustrophobic as wasn't sure how deep into the caves we would go before coming back out. but interesting and got in for free with tickets from the Galleries of Justice. Not sure how much tickets are, wouldn't pay more than £5 on the door. Lad on reception was helpful and friendly. More

The caves are interesting but could be guided better, they seem to be reading from a book and have no knowlege themselves More

Its not a bad tour. Short, not too expensive and quite interesting. The guides seem to know their subject and they present it well. A good way to spend a rainy hour. More

Well worth the visit, great knowledgeable guide. I would think that for any visitor to Nottingham who wasn't previously aware of these it would be quite a surprise at what lay beneath their feet. More
