Robin Hood Attractions

Nottinghamshire is the home of Robin Hood and you’ll find plenty of places to visit in the city and county if you’re looking to live the legend and walk in the footsteps of England’s most captivating folklore hero.

Immerse yourself in the world of medieval Nottingham and the legends of Robin Hood at Nottingham Castle, which has recently undergone an incredible £30m Heritage Lottery Fund transformation. Here, you can travel through the Castle tunnel into Robin Hood Adventures where you’ll sit back in a forest clearing to experience the ballads of Robin Hood on in the round storytelling screens. In the dedicated gaming spaces, you can fire your longbow in a digital archery competition or spar with Little John in the depths of Sherwood Forest.

While you're there, don't forget to snap a selfie outside with the famous statue and experience the epic retelling of the stories which have captured hearts around the world for over seven centuries. You can also stop for a drink Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem, England’s oldest inn, dating back to 1189. This legendary pub is nestled beneath the cliff on which Nottingham's historic castle stands, and was once a well-known pit stop for crusader knights and outlaws such as our very own Robin Hood. This is the perfect spot for a quick drink or a classic pub meal.

Join the famous outlaw himself on the multi-award-winning Robin Hood Town Tour, or step back in time and peer down into the National Justice Museum’s oubliette cell where Robin Hood was imprisoned by the Sheriff. If you're feeling brave, why not test your wits in the Robin of Lockskey escape room! You'll have to crack codes, retrieve lost items, build machines, reveal hidden doors to escape before the time runs out.

No Robin Hood adventure would be complete without a journey into the Nottinghamshire countryside to see his hideout in the majestic Sherwood Forest, where the world-famous, 1000 year old Major Oak stands. Don’t forget to take a wander to the nearby village of Edwinstowe to see St Mary’s Church where Robin Hood is said to have wed his beloved Maid Marian. On the High Street, you’ll be greeted by a wonderful statue of Robin and Marian to commemorate this legend. To explore the Forest, we reccomend visiting the Sherwood Forest Visitor Centre or Sherwood Pines, where you can discover trails, activties and events all year round.

If you want to learn to use a bow and arrow just like our outlaw hero, you can enjoy lessons at Rufford Abbey Activty Centre. With excellent equipment and facilitated by skilled coaches, you are sure to have a wonderful time. Come and try and hit the bullseye before moving onto the boating lake, adventure golf or more! Unfortunately, there’s no Sheriff of Nottingham to aim for as you send those quivering feathered arrows whistling through the air, but you’ll still be aiming for gold as you stand opposite the bullseye, bow in hand.
