Jarrold Pathfinder 20 - Sherwood Forest & The East Midlands
ISBN: 0-7117-0878-9
There is no doubt that Sherwood Forest, with its ancient woodlands, giant oaks and outlaw legends, is the biggest attraction in the East Midlands. This guide contains a lengthy and varied route through the forest, romantically associated with both Robin Hood and Lord Byron. Other walks focus on the region's historic legacy, from Bosworth Battlefield to Southwell Minster and Althorp, ancestral home of the Spencers.
Walkers can sample a clutch of Trent Valley villages (Rolleston, Morton and Fiskerton), enjoy the tranquillity of Rutland Water, or experience the largely vanished landscape of a past system of farming around Laxton.
The East Midlands is DH Lawrence Country, and the guide takes walkers close to the writer's birthplace and past a number of places referred to in his classic novels. There is also the opportunity to see Kirby Hall and Deene Park.
