Honestly not much to see but may be of interest to Robin Hood fans.

Robin Hood's Cave near Ollerton is situated on a bend in the River Maun north of the village it consists of an outcrop of Sherwood Sandstone which Robin Hood reputedly used as one of his many hideaways. The river at this point, and the 'cave' are only a few yards from the route of the King's Highway to York which formed the eastern boundary of Sherwood Forest from the 13th century.

This was the main routeway through Sherwood Forest from Nottingham to York. The location would therefore have been a great ambush site.
