Historical Significance of Sherwood Forest

Sherwood Forest, Worksop, Nottinghamshire was once an area of Woodland and heathland that stretched over 30 miles from Nottingham to Worksop, Sherwood Forest was established as a royal hunting preserve in the 10th century. The area was made legendary as the home of the famous outlaw in the story of Robin Hood, who lived amongst the great oaks along with nature trails and walks. The area was revived by the Normans, with the forest enjoyed by successive kings and the link to royalty in this area continued as parts of the forest were acquired by nobility and the four main ducal estates developed. This unique area, known as The Dukeries, contains the estates of Welbeck, Clumber, Worksop, and Thoresby, and are full of heritage attractions to see.
