Nottinghamshire (abbreviated Notts) is an English county in the East Midlands, which borders South Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, Leicestershire and Derbyshire.
The districts of Nottinghamshire are Ashfield, Bassetlaw, Broxtowe, Gedling, Mansfield, Newark and Sherwood, and Rushcliffe. The City of Nottingham was part of Nottinghamshire until 1998 but is now a Unitary authority; it remains part of the ceremonial county.
Nottinghamshire is famous for its involvement with the legend of Robin Hood. This is also the reason for the amount of tourists who visit places like Sherwood Forest, City of Nottingham and the surrounding villages in Sherwood Forest.
Over half the population live in the conurbation of Greater Nottingham which also spreads into Derbyshire. The conurbation has a population of about 650,000.
The highest point of the county is Newtonwood Lane, GR SK456605, at 204m/669ft.
