Another day visit, to the legendary home of Robin Hood, Sherwood Forest. Local lore tells of the merry men who used the hollow trunk, of the major oak to hide from the Sheriff of Nottingham.

The major oak is estimated at over a thousand year's old. Around 900 of the oak trees are some of the oldest in Europe,  Sherwood forest is also home to 1500 species of beetles and over 200 spiders.

A lot of walking, hiding and a picnic lunch.
