Nottinghamshire is a largely low-lying English County in the East Midlands region.
Nottinghamshire borders with Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, Leicestershire and Derbyshire. Sherwood Forest lies entirely within this county and is famous for its links with the legends of Robin Hood. The River Trent flows through the county from south to north.
Principal towns and cities include Nottingham, Newark, Mansfield, Worksop, Retford, Sutton-in-Ashfield, Eastwood and Hucknall.
Principal industries are agriculture and commerce. The west of the county was once a prolific coal mining area but this industry has been in steady decline since the 1980's.
