Four-year-old Autumn, the Crossbreed, is a bundle of joy sure to bring a smile to your face. She is highly intelligent and seeks a family that will keep her mentally stimulated through training and enrichment activities. Autumn enjoys meeting new people but feels quite nervous around other dogs, so she would benefit from quiet walks where she can stretch her legs. She is looking for an adult-only home where she can settle in at her own pace and demonstrate what an amazing addition she can be to a family.

We could not start this list by not mentioning the county's most famous folklore. The story of Robin Hood has put Nottinghamshire on the map for centuries, with people visiting from far and wide to know more about the world's most famous outlaw depicted in English folklore. Robin Hood and his Merry Men are known to have stolen from the rich and given to the poor during reign of King Richard the Lionheart. Hood subsequently featured in literature, theatre, and cinema. The first recorded literature reference of Robin Hood was in 1377. According to local folklore, Edwinstowe's Major Oak - in the heart of Sherwood Forest - was Robin Hood's shelter where he and his merry men slept.

A gendarme stands outside the house of the grandparents of Emile Soleil, a French toddler who was found dead after going missing in 2023, amidst the property's search as part of the investigation into the boy's death, in La Bouilladisse, southeastern France, on March 25, 2025. A long investigation into the mysterious death in 2023 of a French toddler took a surprise turn March 25, 2025, when police arrested the boy's grandparents on suspicion of murder. The death of Emile Soleil, a two-and-a-half year old boy who went missing while at the summer home of his grandparents in the French Alpine hamlet of Le Haut-Vernet in July 2023, had remained unexplained even after the discovery of his skull and teeth by a walker nine months after his disappearance 1.7 kilometres (1.1 miles) from the village.
