Things to do in Worksop

Worksop poses plenty of opportunities to get out and about and enjoy the fresh air.
Here are some ideas you might find interesting:
Mr Straws House – This 1920’s home is fascinating. Remaining virtually unchanged with décor, ornaments, and exhibits it’s a walk back in time to when the Straws lived in the house. For over 60 years they threw little away and chose to live without many of the modern comforts we take for granted today.
Creswell Crags Museum & Prehistoric Gorge – A spectacular magnesian limestone gorge that straddles the border between Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire. It is dotted with a large number of caves, fissures, and rock shelters, many of which harboured secrets from our Prehistoric past.
Clumber Park – Covering over 3800 acres, comprising of park and farmland. It was once the seat of the Dukes of Newcastle. A National Trust property, offering year-round colour and including the memorable 2-mile avenue of limes forming the main approach. Home to a lake, 19th-century glasshouses, walled gardens, and vineries it’s a lovely place to wander.
Robin Hood – Follow in the footsteps of the legendary Robin Hood and explore the beautiful woodland of Sherwood Forest National Nature Reserve, including Robin’s world-famous hideaway hidden in the ancient Major Oak tree.
Laser Labyrinth – This is an exciting place to take kids (and ‘big kids’) who are full of energy and want some fun! There are a number of really cool games to play, in some interesting zones.
With the whole of Nottinghamshire to explore as well, being bored is just not an option!
