러포드 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Well worth a visit

Cross over by the path above the water.

Delightful & easy path around the Lake and over several footbridges. Suitable for all ages, all abilities and all weathers! Lots of viewpoints and bench seats.

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!

UK's most damaging water crossing. Due to social media fame and the amount of vehicles being damaged, the Ford was closed to traffic

Rufford ford now closed for cars but bikes ok over pedestrian bridge

One of the monuments to be found here, in the middle of the legendary Sherwood Forest, is a figure - historically by no means certain - but which has been told over and over again for many centuries: ROBIN HOOD, known and loved from literature and film far beyond the borders of England, is not portrayed here as a fighter, but very gallantly together with his bride MARIAN. The church of Saint Mary's, in which - at least according to old traditions - the couple's wedding is said to have taken place, can be found on komoot as a hiking highlight under the following link => https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/5300382

This place of worship owes its popularity, which has remained unbroken for a long time, to the successful linking of this real, existing place with a myth that is significant for England: the character of ROBIN HOOD, which has by no means been historically verified but has been retold over many centuries, has been widely used in literature and film known and loved beyond the borders of England. Here then with the extremely romantic addition of the wedding with MARIAN.
