D H LAWRENCE BIRTHPLACE MUSEUM

The controversial novelist D.H. Lawrence's childhood house is one of the key tourist attractions in Nottingham that is now a museum; and it's located in the former mining town of Eastwood, surrounded by beautiful surroundings that had a profound impact on Lawrence's life and writing. In its museum form, it is available to everyone interested in learning more about Lawrence, regardless of whether or not they have read any of his works.

D.H. Lawrence was born in this painstakingly restored miner's hut in Nottinghamshire which is one of the top tourist places to visit in Nottingham. Visitors will be able to see where the controversial author who rocked the literary world got his start. Admission is timed, and the tour, which delves into Lawrence's interesting childhood, is included. Each space has been restored with painstaking accuracy to its original era, making for a really immersive historical experience. Everything looks like it did when it was a Victorian home, from the parlour to the attic. Wonderful for everyone, whether or not they are familiar with Lawrence's work. His original watercolour paintings and his tombstone are on display in this lovely, award-winning museum dedicated to his life and work. The museum serves as a jumping-off point for trips into the scenic countryside that served as an inspiration for much of Lawrence's writing, as well as the Blue Line Trail, an urban hike that passes by several other Lawrence-related sites.
