SHERWOOD FOREST
Formerly vast and deep, now very fragmented and protected, the Sherwood forest is forever linked to the adventures of Robin Hood. At the visitor reception desk, there are many itinerary suggestions, including the Major Oak Trail, Britain's largest oak tree. About 800 years old and with a circumference of 10 meters, its branches extend over 28 meters and it would weigh about 23 tons. This natural monument of great beauty now needs support to keep itself upright.... The charming village of Edwinstowe, which borders the forest, is home to St. Mary's Church, where Robin is said to have married sweet Marianne, and Rufford Abbey, surrounded by a lovely park with a lake.
