    The 'Medusa Oak' is a Sherwood Forest icon, 'she' lives on the northern edge of Birklands forest in the Sherwood Forest National Nature Reserve.
    Unlike some of the other trees in the Sherwood Forest landscape that bear ancient names from the past, Medusa got her name from the modern Rangers in the Sherwood Forest National Nature Reserve.
