Sherwood Forest is a royal forest in Nottinghamshire, England, famous because of its historic association with the legend of Robin Hood.

The area has been wooded since the end of the Last Glacial Period . Today Sherwood Forest National Nature Reserve encompasses 424.75 hectares , surrounding the village of Edwinstowe, the site of Thoresby Hall. It is a remnant of an older and much larger royal hunting forest, which derived its name from its status as the shire wood of Nottinghamshire, which extended into several neighbouring counties , bordered on the west by the River Erewash and the Forest of East Derbyshire. When Domesday Book was compiled in 1086 the forest covered perhaps a quarter of Nottinghamshire in woodland and heath subject to the forest laws.
