Be sure to have a full tank of gas, because Nottingham is worth making a detour for. Located 25 miles from Normanton on Trent, it has some terrific attractions, such as Nottingham Castle and Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem. Sheffield, 30 miles away, is another road-trip destination that’s worth the journey. Check out Ponds Forge International Sports Centre and Magna Science Adventure Centre, two top-notch attractions in the area.
