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!

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.

Clumber Park was once the home of the Duke of Newcastle but the mansion was demolished in 1938. It's now a beautiful estate of parkland, heath, woods and the lake. It's now managed by the National Trust. The parkland is free to access but there are paid entry or members areas. NT cafes, ice cream van and shop on site. There are also over 20miles of traffic free cycle ways on the estate, most are better suited for a mountain or touring bike but they are flat and not technical so if you don't mind getting a bit muddy...

Between 1729 and c.1845 many improvements were made to the Rufford estate. For example, the addition of the bath house, the creation of the lake and mill buildings, the construction of the brewhouse, water tower and coach house, and also the addition of five ice houses. Although Rufford Abbey once boasted five ice houses, only two remain today. All were constructed around 1820, when the estate was owned by John Lumley-Savile, 8th Earl of Scarbrough (1788–1856). The five ice houses are located near Rufford lake, created c. 1750; for the simple reason that the movement of ice from its source was easier. Not all of Rufford's ice houses faced north, as accessibility and the logistics of the ice may have meant that the builders found it easier to place the doorways facing the lake rather than northerly. It is believed that ice was mainly taken from Blackwalk Pond, which was drained to make way for housing in the 20th century. Blackwalk Pond was used to serve the abbey in Rufford's monastic era, and later supplied water to Rufford's water tower and brewhouse, which remain on site today.

Once you are there, there are multiple trails to choose from. Terrain suitable for a pushchair/wheelchair depending on the trail choice. Car park - spacious, daily cost of £4.50.

Miles of relatively traffic-free roads to explore this leafy parkland. A great place to picnic on a warm summer day, but a lovely quiet area at any time of year.

An imitation of Worksop Priory, built by the Duke of Portland in 1842, Archway House will hold particular interest if you enjoy the legend of Robin Hood. Its fine façade boasts a number of beguiling sculptures, including depictions of Robin Hood and associated characters. Once a utilised as a school, the building is now a private residence.

Archway House is a grade 2 listed building set in acres of private woodland in a quiet and secluded location. It is worth a look at but it is rented out as holiday accommodation, I believe so don't go peeking in the windows!
