New area of castle is reopened

Visitors are being urged to enjoy the view from Nottingham Castle's south terrace, which has opened for the first time in nine years.

It collapsed on Christmas Day, 1996, when a water main burst.

Costing over £500,000, there have been repeated delays to the renovations because of the exposed position and its scheduled ancient monument status.

But now managers at the site have said the work is finished and everyone can enjoy the views.
