The Major Oak & Robin Hood

This forest veteran is a huge oak tree thought to be around 800 years old. According to local lore, its hollow trunk was used as a hideout by Robin Hood and his merry men.

Tales of Robin Hood have been told for 700 years. Our fascination with this world-famous outlaw continues into the 21st century. The romantic image of Robin Hood is of a medieval hooded figure in Lincoln green, a master bowman with a quick mind and mischievous sense of humour. From his forest lair he ambushes rich travellers, fights corrupt officials, and shares the spoils of his outlawry with poor, oppressed peasants. But does the Robin Hood of the silver screen and written page bear any resemblance to the real outlaw? Did a real outlaw ever actually exist? Was he a made-up figure, answering the people’s need for a hero? Or do his real origins lie further back in the mysteries of our pagan past?
