Sherwood Forest attracts around 360,000 visitors annually, with more than 400 acres of the forest open to the public.
From seasonal sights to family fun, and centuries of history – here are twelve reasons why a visit to Sherwood Forest this autumn is a good idea.
9. Time in nature
One reason to visit is to spend time in nature and observe wildlife this autumn, especially before hibernation begins. Since the site is run by the RSPB, there are various opportunities to support the charity and their conservation efforts. In 2015, the nature conservation charity was selected by Nottinghamshire County Council to manage the Sherwood Forest site, a country park at the time, on behalf of, and in partnership with them. Other partners include The Sherwood Forest Trust, Thoresby Estate and The Woodland Trust. Photo: John - Stock/Adobe
