Castle Gate is an historic street near the centre of the English city of Nottingham. The street runs uphill, from a junction with Low Pavement, Lister Gate and Albert Street in the city centre, to Castle Road, near to the entrance to Nottingham Castle. The street is noted for its Georgian houses, many of which are listed buildings. There is also a complex of rock-cut caves, under buildings at the lower end of the street, which is a scheduled monument.
The street is bisected roughly half-way up by Maid Marian Way and the two halves have rather different natures. Below Maid Marian Way the street is wider and most of the imposing buildings date from the 18th century of later, whilst in the higher part the streetscape is smaller scale with earlier buildings. Perhaps reflecting this, the lower part of the street is in the city's Old Market Square conservation area, whilst the upper part is in the Castle conservation area.
