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!

Strawberry Hill Heath SSSI Nature Reserve. What's left of the SW end of once mighty Sherwood Forest as big domestic & industrial developments move in. Great place to explore, lots of paths through the trees. Unfortunately a constant hum of traffic and an attraction for 4X4's & fly-tippers, plus two or three burned-out cars dotted around does spoil it in places.

Nestled amidst the rolling hills and verdant landscapes of Nottinghamshire, England, lies Strawberry Hill Heath, a captivating nature reserve that offers a glimpse into the region's rich natural history and ecological diversity. This tranquil haven, managed by the Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust, provides an ideal retreat for nature enthusiasts and outdoor adventurers alike.

Beneath the heath's verdant canopy, wildflowers burst into life in the spring, creating a vibrant tapestry of color. Common heathers, bell heather, and bilberry carpet the ground, attracting butterflies and bees that contribute to the heath's rich biodiversity. Strawberry Hill Heath offers an abundance of opportunities for exploring the natural world. A well-maintained circular trail winds through the reserve, providing access to its various habitats. Along the way, visitors can encounter a variety of wildlife, from inquisitive deer to shy rabbits.

Visitors can sit by the edge of the heath, surrounded by the sounds of nature, and simply take in the beauty of the landscape. If you're seeking a peaceful escape into the heart of nature, Strawberry Hill Heath is the perfect destination.
