This was so informative and lovely. You have a beautiful country. Look forward to your next tour!
My great grandparents lived in Archway lodge with the school upstairs ,3 of my great aunts born in archway lodge
I think just about every young man at one time or another pretended to be Robin Hood. I remember when I was a kid making a sword out of two pieces of wood covered in tin foil and a bow and arrow I made from trees around our house. Great fun. It's nice to see that the forest is still around and is quite large.
Liked it Andy...watching my local history from Australia.
Glad you enjoyed it Clive, Thanks for watching!

Well done , really enjoyed this most informative walk around Sherwood forest , I've been wanting to explore this area for quite awhile now and have finally got a book of walks in that area , hope to see more 👍
Great video Andy. I lived in Meden Vale years ago and used to spend lots of time during my childhood in the forest
Thanks Mark, Glad you enjoyed the video and hope it brought back many memories, Thank you for watching :-)
Sherwood Forest 🌳 is one of the Best Places to Visit in England 🏴 💚 ROBIN HOOD
looks an awesome place andy
Another great video, this brought back some memories, i used to live in Edwinstowe in the 80's, was born in Mansfield. Live in Liverpool now. Looking forward to more of these videos
What a coincidence I was also born in Mansfield, I grew up in ladybrook. I still live in the area. Glad it brought back memories for you. I was in Liverpool last year doing a coast to coast kayak trip from Liverpool to goole for charity.... There is a video 😊
Very well presented vid, loads of interesting facts and what a lovely place, you have a new subscriber, thumbs up
My son started reading Robin Hood for homeschool today, very interesting video.
Thank you Trisha, I wish your son the best of success in his studies and thank you for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Cracking video. The good old TH-cam algorithm suggested this and glad it did. Mansfield lad originally now living away but nice to see Sherwood looking as good as I remember
Thanks Chris, glad you enjoyed it
Waoh Awesome 😎👍
Wonderful video. So interesting 🧐. I’d love to visit sometime. Just one suggestion: the background music is a bit loud, and I have a hard time understanding some narrative. Thank you!
Great video make more please.
Many thanks Noodle, I hope to have more videos out before the year is out, if you have not seen it may I recommend another? th-cam.com/video/SzD9PZT6RZw/w-d-xo.html

Forties, are you kidding me !?
How many acres of Sherwood Forest is left from the 12th Century of Robins time/ and in your research , is there proof he actually existed? I’d like to think he did.
Good question Aaron,
Officially the area covered by the forest today is around 1000 acres, however that is mostly just the area around the Sherwood forest park at Edwinstowe, of which is mostly an area called the Dukeries. Land owed by the dukes was never developed or cleared and was much part of the original Royal hunting forest.
The part that is now mostly the park is probably the most protected over the years because of the hunting forest, these areas was reserved for royal hunting only and if a commoner was caught hunting in these areas they were given very heavy and sometimes deadly penalties. This was policed by the Sheriff of Nottingham.
King Johns palace was a Royal hunting lodge in the forest that used to house dignitaries and visiting upper classes from which they would use as a hunting base.
Later the land became the property of the dukes, around Edwinstowe it was the Dukes of Portland and therefore it was kept as parkland, the original forest however stretched much further, and covered an area of around 100,000 acres, some of this is left but not connected to the Sherwood forest park, for example the area just south of Edwinstowe, Sherwood pines, covers many 100's of acres, so the honest answer is...... nobody really knows, almost every tree from Leicestershire to Yorkshire could be counted, in my opinion id say the area between Edwinstowe and Worksop is what is left of the hunting forest.
Most of the original ancient woodland and the ancient oaks in other areas was cleared to build ships to fight the Spanish Armada but replaced with pine plantations.
As for Robin, I think as an outlaw the notion of robbing the rich to feed the poor is likely to be false, he more than likely kept it for himself! and there would have been many more like him, outlawed for their crimes such as poaching from the Royal forest, hiding in the depths of the forest as wanted men.
Some stories do not add up, for example it is said that Robin and his men used the hollow interior of the Major oak to hide in from the Sheriff of Nottingham, however is Robins day, it would have been a sapling.
In the 12th century, most people were not literate and stories were often conveyed in songs usually sang by minstrels such as Alan-a-dale and became folklore, I believe what we see from the story of Robin and his men is a cumulation of these stories creating the legend, in the 15th century plays was composed of his adventures, however as with all folklore there is always an element of truth, I think Robin did exist, along with many other bands of outlaws exiled to the forest and would have more than likely prayed upon and robbed the wealthy folk travelling the Kings road through the forest.
Maybe a video on Robin and the kings road should be a future production?
Hope this answers your question, thanks for watching
@@andyince I thought the Major oak is like around 1000 yrs old?
@@andyince thank you for the response, one day I plan on visiting there and I’d be happy to pay your expenses for a tour
Not a fan of all the signs, but I get why they are there.
Im sure there are plenty of untouched-ish forests in England that are not full on tourist traps like Sherwood would be.
Id love to see the same forests my ancestors walked through, fought in, died for. As an 1st generation australian, I dont feel as much connection to the land that I do in the UK. The history just isn't here
