Hiking

The historic village at the heart of all things Sherwood Forest, Edwinstowe is an ideal base if you are planning on rambling in the footsteps of some famous merry men. It is the end point of the Robin Hood Way long distance trail and is on the edge of the Sherwood Forest National Nature Reserve, where a visitor centre boasts amenities and information aplenty. The parish church is said to be where Robin and Maid Marian tied the knot.

The church is often open during the summer months, but visitors are advised to call ahead if coming from far away.

This place of worship owes its popularity, which has remained unbroken for a long time, to the successful linking of this real, existing place with a myth that is significant for England: the character of ROBIN HOOD, which has by no means been historically verified but has been retold over many centuries, has been widely used in literature and film known and loved beyond the borders of England. Here then with the extremely romantic addition of the wedding with MARIAN.
