    The Major Oak is said to have been the shelter of Robin Hood and his merry men. One thing is certain: It's very old, and is probably Britain's most visited tree.

      June 11, 2024

      Due to its venerable age, an old legend has manifested itself on this large oak tree: the story of ROBIN HOOD, which has been told over and over again for many centuries - although by no means historically confirmed - and is known and loved from literature and film far beyond the borders of England. This tree is said to have given him and his loyal followers, whose area of activity is located in Sherwood Forest, shelter here. You may want to believe it or not - the main thing is: the myth lives on!
