Sherwood Forest Country Park and Visitor Centre
Sherwood Forest National Nature Reserve contains some of the oldest trees in Europe, veteran oaks five centuries old and the world-famous Major Oak, still producing acorns after standing at the heart of the forest for an estimated 800 years.
Sherwood Forest, once the Royal hunting playground of Kings and Dukes, now offers a wealth of active fun for all the family.
