Nottinghamshire or Notts, a midland county; bounded, on the N W, by Yorkshire; on the N E and the E, by Lincolnshire; on the S E and the S, by Leicestershire; on the W, by Derbyshire. Its outline is irregularly ovoida1, with the long axis extending from N to S. Its boundary with part of Lincolnshire is formed by the river Trent, with part of Leicestershire, by the river Soar; with part of Derbyshire, by the river Erewash; but, in general, is artificial. Its greatest length, from N to S, is 50 miles; its greatest breadth, from E to W, is 27 miles; its circuit is about 150 miles; and its area is 526,076 acres. The greater part of the surface belongs to the valley of the Trent; and much of this, particularly in the E and in the N E, is very low, and is drained as fenland. The rest of the surface is uneven and partly hilly, but nowhere rises to higher elevations than from 400 to 600 feet. A tract of wold is in the S, extending from Hickling westward to Gotham; and a tract of hill, comprising about one-fifth of the entire area and mainlyidentical with Sherwood forest, is in the W, extending from Warsop southward to Nottingham.
