City of Caves is a visitor attraction in Nottingham which consists of a network of caves, carved out of sandstone that have been variously used over the years as a tannery, public house cellars, and as an air raid shelter.
The attraction is accessed from the upper level of the Broadmarsh Shopping Centre.
Beneath the houses, shops and offices of Nottingham lie hundreds of caves. Few people in Nottingham are aware of this labyrinth, which exists underneath the city streets, and fewer still have visited them. Nottingham has more man-made caves than anywhere else in Britain. People have worked and lived in them for over 1,000 years.
The attraction has been run by the Egalitarian Trust, which also runs the Galleries of Justice, since 2004 and a joint ticket is available for visitors to visit both attractions.
