Jarrold Short Walks 6 - Nottingham & Sherwood Forest
ISBN: 0-7117-2086-X Nottinghamshire is a region of delightful countryside, from undulating farmland to the dense canopy of Sherwood Forest, legendary 'home' of Robin Hood, England's most colourful folk hero. All the walks in this guide fall within or border the county and invite an exploration from the heart of the city of Nottingham, where, in Wollaton Park, red and fallow deer graze peacefully, to the wooded precincts of Clumber Park, location of a splendid High Victorian Gothic chapel. For lovers of natural history, ancient Sherwood Forest is teeming with wildlife.
More than 900 of its trees are estimated to be more than 600 years old, and in autumn the forest is carpeted with fungi, while in spring it echoes with birdsong. Other walks in this guide explore the old Nottingham Canal, with its abundant wildlife, Clumber Lake and the woodlands and stunning landscapes of D.H. Lawrence country, around Greasley and Beauvale.
