Forest /Edwinstowe: These photos were taken on a bright autumnal November
day (2005) around the Edwinstowe visitors centre. The centre (close to Robin Hood's
major oak where Robin is said to have made his hide out) gives information on
the legend of the Nottinghamshire outlaw while the surrounding area offers some
beautiful woodland walks. Notts
