Also Worth Seeing
Brewhouse Yard - interesting array of buildings, including the Museum of Nottinghamshire Life and Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem (claims to be England's oldest inn), and you can also see the ancient caves below the Castle - see photo above.
The Tunnel - built in the 1850's to provide a thoroughfare for carriages through to Derby Road, but never used. Folly?
Glimpses of the Castle - ducal palace that can be seen from various points throughout The Park, arguably the best view is from Park Drive
Accessibility
A minibus will travel a fixed route around The Park, stopping at various gardens. You are welcome to use this, however, when it's busy, please give priority to visitors who are less mobile. Look out for the yellow bus stop signs.
The Park is built in a steep-sided valley and many of the gardens are sloped, with access by steps. However, Newcastle Circus is flat and easily accessible for those with mobility problems or using wheelchairs. The programme will mark which properties are definitely not accessible.
Dogs
Dogs can come into The Park, but are not permitted in the gardens, or in the communal garden areas such as Newcastle Circus, as they are quite small spaces.
