Nottingham Castle was begun by William the Conqueror in 1068. The medieval castle was destroyed in the Civil War and the site used for a palatial residence for the Duke of Newcastle. The 17th-century residence was later transformed into a Victorian art gallery and museum. Under the castle is a network of caves and tunnels that can be toured.
