As WE explore Edwinstowe, YOU will find yourself immersed in a world of enchantment. This village is best known for its connection to the legendary Robin Hood, who according to folklore, married Maid Marian in the local St. Mary's Church. Speaking of the church, it's a must-visit for history buffs. Dating back to the 11th century, this medieval masterpiece is a fascinating display of Norman architecture.

But that's not all Edwinstowe has to offer. For nature enthusiasts, the Sherwood Forest National Nature Reserve is a must-visit. This ancient woodland is home to an array of flora and fauna, including the famous Major Oak tree - a thousand-year-old tree that is said to have sheltered Robin Hood and his band of Merry Men.
