In the footsteps of Robin Hood

The primary locations

Unsurprisingly, Nottinghamshire's full of places linked to the legend of Robin Hood. But these seven locations are the ones you'd be mad to miss. If you’re only staying in Notts for a day or two then they should be top of your list.

Nottingham Castle - home to the evil Sheriff of Nottingham, Robin's arch enemy

Thieves Wood & Fountain Dale - an appropriate name for the popular haunt of robbers and highwaymen. Take a walk to historic Fountain Dale where Robin first met Little John and Friar Tuck

Rufford Abbey Country Park - learn about Robin's rebellion against the Church and his many antics in Robin Hood and the Monk

Sherwood Forest Country Park - need we say more? Robin's favourite hide out and home to the ancient Major Oak

King John's Palace - a secluded palace and hunting lodge popular with the King

Edwinstowe - a place of romance for Robin and Marian. Visit St Mary's - the church in which they exchanged wedding vows

Clumber Park - once the heart of the royal forest and a good hunting spot for Robin and his band of Merry Men. Take the Clumber Walk around one of the most ancient woodland sites in Notts
