Robin Hood Way and Sherwood Forest Overview

The Robin Hood Way is a long-distance pathway that passes through parts of Nottingham and is one of the tourist places to visit in Nottingham that has a connection to the infamous outlaw. The route travels through lowland agriculture and heathland, as well as the grand houses and gardens of the Dukeries and woodlands, notably Sherwood Forest. The 84-mile path from Nottingham Castle to Edwinstowe Church was opened to the public in 1985 with the goal of connecting all of the locations in Nottinghamshire that had some role in the spreading of the legend of Robin Hood.

The legend of Robin Hood has been inextricably intertwined with the ancient trees of Sherwood Forest for generations. The legend of Robin Hood has been passed down through the ages in songs, books, and films, likely beginning in the 15th century. Sherwood Woodland is a royal forest located in Nottinghamshire that has become famous due to its ties to the local folk figure Robin Hood. This region has been forested since the end of the Last Glacial Period, and the Sherwood Woodland National Nature Reserve contains more than 1,000 acres of forest today. Over 350,000 people go to Sherwood Forest each year to see its rich history, scenic bicycle routes, and shimmering lakes. Sherwood Forest is one of the tourist places to visit in Nottingham which is frequented by many people who are interested in learning more about the legend of Robin Hood, who is widely believed to have lived there. Imagine yourself living, hunting, and hiding out alongside Robin Hood and the Merry Men as you stroll beneath the mighty, ancient oak trees.
