Pictures of a new bespoke adventure play area which will form part of the Nottingham Castle transformation have been revealed.
Work on the multi-million pound project to transform the Ducal Palace and its grounds is within reach of completion, with a sneak peak captured in a recent video.
While the heritage site has undergone extensive changes to both restore and re-imagine the Castle experience, one of the largest new features is the custom-built playground.
In the latest Castle project update, a spokesperson said: "Nestled in the medieval ditch beneath the imposing façade of the Ducal Palace, the setting is truly unique – a dream for any young outlaw."
Pictures elegantly capture the wooden structure beneath a natural canopy of green foliage and trees - reminiscent of Robin Hood's Sherwood Forest hideout.
The custom-made creation is the work of designers and contractors, Playscheme, and includes a replica Gatehouse with a wheelchair accessible bridge, tunnels, slides, rope bridges and everything needed for a true Castle adventure.
The new Castle experience aims to combine interactive, virtual technology including Robin Hood folklore, alongside high-quality art exhibitions to bring its 1,000-year history to life.
The grounds have been vastly changed, enabling the experience to start outside with new landscaping and a brand new visitor centre which will house the ticket office, shop and cafe.
Another fun addition for families will be the 10-tonne land train that has been included to help with accessibility for all.
It will travel from Brewhouse Yard around the grounds and drop off at the Ducal Palace.
