Sherwood forest activity
I’d like you to imagine spending
your activity
holiday in the home of Robin Hood.
Read the background information
about this legendary
hero of Sherwood Forest.

5.

Robin Hood is a legendary figure from English
folklore who could have existed in Medieval times
around the reign of King John. There is evidence
that the character is based on a real man or maybe
different men with qualities that contributed to
the legend over time. The traditional legend,
however, portrays Robin Hood as an outlaw
(someone hiding from the authorities) who was
skilled at archery and with a sword and who was
famous for ‘robbing the rich and giving to the
poor’. In popular culture, Robin and his men are
always shown as living in Sherwood Forest near
Nottingham. Robin had a good sense of humour,
was courageous, generous and intelligent and
treated his men as brothers. Robin was loyal to
Richard the Lionheart who was away fighting,
leaving King John, who charged the people high
taxes, ruling in his absence. The main enemy of
Robin, however, was the Sheriff of Nottingham.
Sherwood Forest is in
Nottinghamshire, England
and is famous because of the Robin
Hood legend. It
was once a royal hunting forest that
stretched over
30 miles. Today it covers a smaller
area but walks,
trails and many other activities can be
enjoyed there.
Some parts of the forest are home to
very old oak
trees, including ‘the Major Oak’,
which, according to
legend, was Robin Hood’s main
hideout. This tree is
between 800 and 1,000 years old.
