Two Nottinghamshire attractions have come out on top in the East Midlands according to Visit England’s annual visitor attraction survey. Sherwood Pines and Wollaton Hall were visited more than anywhere else in the region last year.
Around 705,000 people flocked to Sherwood Pines, a popular forest park near Edwinstowe, which boasts a visitor centre, a cafe, Go Ape's tree top fun and plenty of opportunities for walking, cycling and jogging. In second place is Wollaton Park, which attracted approximately 651,000 visitors.
The impressive visitor numbers put them comfortably ahead of other big regional attractions. Tourism chiefs at Visit Nottinghamshire said they're backed up by strong numbers across the region in 2021, with visits increasing in the East Midlands by 22% compared to 2020, demonstrating the industry’s recovery following the pandemic.
