ニーソール周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

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!

A really great track to cycle

Gives a good feel of the trails

Great place for some XC mountain biking. Nothing very extreme so really good for Beginners or youngsters. If you're looking for hardcore downhill or bike park Wales-type trails you'll be disappointed as there is not much in the way of elevation. Cafe on-site and a bike shop too with a jet wash to clean your bike off after your ride. Can get very busy at weekends.

In 2022, the Major Oak was selected as one of 70 ancient trees from around the UK to take their place in the Queen's Green Canopy, a 70th anniversary program to inspire the planting of new trees across the country. This oak is very old and must be supported because of its weight.

UPDATE for 2025 (and most of 2024); Ordnance clearance works now complete so route 6 is back to normal. Comment below retained for historic interest. Cycle Route 6 through Sherwood Forest. Most of 2022 and in February 2023 a central section of Cycle Route 6 has been closed (fenced off) with a diversion that isn't well sign posted and passes through sandy terrain not well suited to cycling. Although its possible to pass through and go around fences, I've been stopped en route. Cycle route 6 passes by an area previously used by the Army and they're clearing live ammo, occasionally with controlled detonations.

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.

A great track , starting at Fledborough where High Marnham power station was located and going to Braeford Wharf in Lincoln City centre.Twenty five miles return trip if you park at Fledborough.Parking there is fine in the side road.
