A short walk along Friar Lane is Nottingham Cattle, the home of Robin Hood's arch enemy, the legendary Sheriff of Nottingham. On Castle Road, you can sample more of Nottingham's great past at the Museum of Nottingham Life in Brewhouse Yard.

St Nicholas' Evangelical Anglican Church is at the southern end of Maid Marian Way. It was rebuilt in 1682 after being destroyed in 1643, during the English Civil War."
