Sherwood Forest National Nature Reserve

Here you’ll find 375 hectares in our part of the National Nature Reserve, which is home to hundreds of species of bird, insect, mammal, fungi, tree and plant. Wooded for centuries, and once part of a vast royal hunting ground, Sherwood’s a unique place to visit, boasting hundreds of ancient oaks thriving here for more than 500 years, including the legendary Major Oak, estimated to be around 1,000 years old.
