Like Robin Hood's final arrow our Sherwood holiday has come to and end. We will miss the Westworldy isolation of Centre Parcs and it's gated life of swimming and bikes.
Before reality was allowed fully back in we stopped off at the RSPB Sherwood Forest Centre, the modern epicentre of the Robin Hood legend.
Theres lots of spot-on info about Robin, Marion and the Merry Men, including the wedding place, the TV appearances and the movies! My favourite is the Sixties Disney cartoon! What's yours?
The Centre has a fabulous collection of Hood movie posters on the walls. There's so many films!
There's Robin's tackle everywhere too.
The man, the myth.
What a legend!
Pop culture, TV appearances, wooden swords and fancy goblets.
Even Dr. Who! Not an episode I know. You?
The famous forest
The big merry car park
One of the many robin cafes and shops
The famous forest of Sherwood
And the main attraction, short of Robin himself, it's his tree!
For serious Loxley lounging .....
The Major Oak.
It's 1100 years old.
Now that's impressive!
Have you got an old tree nearby readers?
