    Where was Sherwood Forest?

    Question #113742. Asked by star_gazer. (Mar 29 10 9:25 PM)


    serpa

    		Sherwood Forest is a Royal Forest in Nottinghamshire, England, that is famous through its historical association with the legend of Robin Hood. Continuously forested since the end of the Ice Age,[1] Sherwood is today reduced to a 423 hectare[2] (1.63 square-mile) remnant surrounding the village of Edwinstowe, the site of Thoresby Hall. The wooded forest of today is a remnant of a much larger royal hunting forest, named as the "shire wood" of Nottinghamshire,[3] which in fact extended into several neighbouring counties (shires), bordered on the west along the River Erewash and the Forest of East Derbyshire.
