More about this scene
Sherwood Forest once covered over 100,000 acres between Nottingham and Worksop, although the great ducal estates of the Dukeries enclosed much of the north part for their parks. As early as the 10th century, this vast tract of wooded landscape was known as 'sher wood', meaning 'the wood belonging to the county or shire', and by the 12th century it was a royal forest subject to its own Forest Law. This view is in the Sherwood Forest Country Park, an area of 450 acres with many of the best surviving ancient oak trees amid silver birch, younger oaks and bracken.
