The Real History of Sherwood Forest | Forget Robin Hood

Robin Hood is the story they wanted you to remember. This is the history they wanted you to forget. Beyond the legend lies the real Sherwood Forest, a place shaped by brutal forest laws, royal power, ancient caves, witch marks, superstition, and centuries of fear hidden beneath the trees. In this journey through Sherwood Forest - and beyond - we explore the darker side of medieval England, from Kings Clipstone and the Major Oak to the haunting folklore of Creswell Crags and Robin Hood Cave itself. This isn’t just the story of an outlaw. It’s the story of the forest. Shot on location: ----------------------------- Sherwood Forest 👉https://visitsherwood.co.uk/plan-your...
