In the county’s northernmost reaches, Retford is a distinguished market town centred on a large market square with regal Georgian townhouses and little shopping streets that invite you to see what you can discover.

If the Town Hall on the square looks a little out of place, that’s because it’s slightly newer than the buildings around it, and was built in Victorian times in the French renaissance style.

The littlest holidaymakers will be crazy about Sundown Adventureland, an acclaimed amusement park aimed exclusively at u10s.
