셔우드 숲 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

1200년대, 즉 로빈 후드의 시대로 알려진 이 시기에 셔우드는 약 10만 헥타르를 덮고 있었으며, 이는 노팅엄셔 전체 면적의 5분의 1에 해당했습니다. 런던에서 요크까지 이어지는 주요 도로인 그레이트 노스 웨이는 셔우드를 통과했으며, 여행자들은 종종 법 밖에 사는 강도들에게 노출되었습니다. 따라서 "무법자"라는 이름이 붙었습니다. https://www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk/culture-leisure/country-parks/history-of-sherwood-forest-robin-hood-and-major-oak

The Hall was built about 1702 on land owned by the Duke of Newcastle. The stables and out-buildings were built after 1740. The hall was modernised in the 1750s and Pevsner scholar of the history of art dated the drawing room ceiling to 1751. The Hall, in 1770, like many other buildings in the area, would have to have paid Window Tax. Some houses in the village blocked up windows to save money. Documents show that the owners of the Hall did not pay the tax, possibly as it was a rented property. At this time a new saying was coined, ‘Daylight Robbery’.

With this photo wall, you can be Robin Hood yourself. There are two peepholes!

Very busy, with a lot of dog walkers, for those with nervous dogs aim for a quieter time.

Well worth a visit
