You must visit what is left of the once vast Sherwood Forest, where the famous outlaw Robin Hood is said to have hidden within his men. It’s possible to walk around it in half an hour though of course you can take your time and walk more paths. You can see the famous Major Oak, possibly 900-1000 years old and also visit Edwinstowe craft centre. Local legend recounts that Robin married Maid Marion in St Mary’s church in Edwinstowe. Opposite the church is a decent pub and restaurant the Forest Lodge and also the restaurant Launays (little more upmarket). All less than 10 minutes drive from Cocking Hill House.

Visit the famous home of the legendary Robin Hood and stare in awe at the iconic Major Oak… Famously the stomping ground of the legendary Robin Hood, Sherwood Forest is an impressive 450-acre country park. As a landmark thousands of years in the making, it is alive with nature, history and folklore waiting to be discovered. The most famous resident of Sherwood Forest, after Robin Hood himself of course, is the iconic Major Oak – the giant oak where he reputedly hid – attracting thousands of visitors every year. Standing prominently against the Forest’s 900 ancient oak trees, it is Britain’s biggest oak with its impressive canopy spreading 28 metres, a trunk circumference of 11 metres and an estimated weight of 23 tonnes! It is a spectacle to behold whatever the season. The Forest offers plenty of walks and trails catering for all fitness levels, interests and durations – from short nature trails to a whole day amongst the ancient oaks. There is even a Robin Hood-themed play area complete with lookout post, swings and rope bridge. There truly is something for everyone to enjoy. Events are staged throughout the year and cover everything from Robin Hood themed activities to guided walks and nature trails. The cafe cannot be missed with its fantastic rooftop canopy offering unique views across the forest. Visit Website Tel: 01623 677321
