Thieves Wood, Nottinghamshire.

 

Thieves Wood today has a much more cultivated appearance than it did in Robin Hood's day. This is because the storms of 1976 destroyed much of the original forest. But the track seen here, nicknamed Robin Hood's Way, still more or less conforms to the route it's timbers once took in order to build Nottingham Castle

 This Woodland once straddled each side of the route known as the King's Great Way, linking London with Nottingham, Mansfield, and on to York. It became known as Thieves Wood due to the Outlaws who hid here, awaiting unsuspecting travelers to pass by.
