タックスフォードでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Adjacent to the Pumping Station lies Boughton Brake - an area of ancient woodland that is criss-crossed by a number of public footpaths.

Good Footbridge over the Ford for when the water's too deep

Deep puddles across the dirt track after heavy rain

Old coaching inn, now a pub and restaurant.

The church was built in the 12th century. It was rebuilt in the 16th century by the Stanhope family, and then in the 17th century, 1886 and 1925.

Lots more smaller trails not mapped on Komoot. Great spot for dog walkers.

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.

A surfaced trail network is located in the south of the wood taking in the pond and part of the beech avenue. If you are a more adventurous walker, you may come across the red pond too!
