There is a sign at the entrance saying "private road", but it seems to be part of the National Cycle Network 6, and no problem riding to pass through.

In 1205 King John paid an annual stipend of 4 shillings to the hermit of Clipstone who sang in St Edwin's Chapel in Birchwude (Birklands Wood). The chapel at that time was part of the landscape of Royal Deer Park and Palace of the King's Houses (now known as King John's Palace) that were the royal heart of Medieval Sherwood Forest. The location of the chapel was marked on the 1630 map of Clipstone made by William Senior of William Cavendish Earl of Newcastle. The location is now marked on the ground by an iron cross erected in 1912 by the Duke of Portland.

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!

Great stop for a pic lunch or refreshing drink in the beer garden.

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
