Today we travelled into Nottinghamshire to Sherwood Forest, we walked 1km to the Major Oak tree which is 1,000 years old! said to have been Robin Hoods hiding place. Sarah had a go at Archery! and managed to hit the target once! she is so impressed she's thinking of taking it up at home. We then traveled to Clumber Park and strolled through the grounds, until Sarah dragged me to the bike hire place. We chose a trail and away we went, 5miles (7.5km) later! we re...

Arrived in Nottingham after lunch, drive from York pretty boring, Sean took us along the motorways, we just crisscrossed from one motorway to the other. Lots of trucks! Nottingham unimpressive, although we have been to so many capital cities we probably expect more. It has a castle, but in would rate low on our castle meter, it's run by the local council but has no real tourist appeal. We walked around and looked at local attractions (didn't take long) our hot...

The guide explained about t...

We also did the scenic boat trip along the river canel. The city of York is within an ancient wall, tomorr...

Having camera issues! So unable to upload photos. However we did take photos we just cannot show them. We traveled to Castle Howard which is more like a stately home, it has 10,000 acres. We had a tour through the main house and wandered around the walled gardens, it took most of the day. On our way back to Scarborough we called in at a Lavender Farm, we have seen it growing everywhere so it was good to get up an personal with the Yorkshire Lavender. We return...
