Guest favourite: Sherwood Forest

Sherwood Forest is world famous as the legendary home of Robin Hood and his Merry Men. But did you know this historic Royal Hunting Forest is also an ecological hotspot?

The forest is home to some of Europe’s greatest trees, as well as rare lowland heathland. 900 veteran oak trees can be found within the forest, including the famous 800 year old Major Oak. According to local lore, its hollow trunk was used as a hideout by Robin Hood’s men.

The Sherwood Forest Visitor Centre is situated on a level site and is fully accessible for wheelchairs. A number of paths, such as the Major Oak path, are accessible to wheelchairs. Accessibility information is available from the Visitor Information Point or the Rangers' Office.

Admission to Sherwood Forest Park and the Visitor Centre is free.
