Robin Hood Way

Statistics and Files

 

 

Summary: The Robin Hood Way long distance footpath features areas of Nottingham associated with the legendary figure of Robin Hood and his exploits, crossing lowland farmland and heathland, and visiting the great houses and parks of the Dukeries and forests, including Sherwood Forest. The original route of 84 miles from Nottingham Castle to Edwinstowe Church was opened in 1985 with the intention of linking all the places in Nottinghamshire with connections to the legend of Robin Hood. Further popular landmarks and visitor spots in Nottinghamshire not associated with the folk hero were also included on the route and add to the appeal of the walk. Some places on the route include Sherwood Forest, Clumber Park, Farnsfield, Greasley, Kimberley, Rainworth, Creswell Crags, Kirton and Bothamsall.
