Overview

A circular flat walk from Edwinstowe, a village famous for its connections with Robin Hood.  He was reputed to have married Maid Marion at the church of St Mary, Edwinstowe.  We will be walking through the ancient woodlands of Sherwood Forest, passing the Major Oak, before returning to the Visitor Centre for refreshments and an opportunity to browse the Robin Hood gift shop.
