The legend of Robin Hood cannot be ignored when you visit Nottinghamshire. Stories of Robin leading his ‘merry men’ in a chivalrous rivalry with other legends such as The Sheriff of Nottingham have been told for over 600 years and are set mostly in Nottingham’s Sherwood Forest. Hailed by many as Nottingham’s Folk Hero, there are plenty of places to delve deeper into stories of tyranny, gallantry and music. Visit Nottingham Castle, Sherwood Forest National Nature Reserve, Shire Hall and St Mary’s Church, or take the full Robin Hood tour around the city and don’t miss a thing! There is also the annual Robin Hood festival held at the Sherwood Forest Visitor Centre, where you can enjoy an array of activities, celebrating Nottingham’s famous outlaw.
