Sunday 15th March, 2026: Sherwood Forest, Birklands and the Major Oak
Walk leader: Kaz S Hi Everyone, here are the details of our March walk. Park at the Sherwood Forest Main Car Park NG21 9QB. The what3words link is: https://w3w.co/dupe.bubbles.website Parking is £5 but there is also off road parking if you want to find it in the village of Edwinstowe. Please arrive in time for a prompt 10.30 start. There are toilets at the beginning and end of the walk at the Visitor Centre 100 yards away. This classic Sherwood Forest walk reveals the now largely vanished landscape of the traditional English greenwood at its finest. The walk includes a pleasant stroll beside the River Maun, then continues across the oak and birch woodlands of Birklands which claims to be the finest area of ancient oak forest in Western Europe. It continues across the open heathland of Budy South Forest. Near the end you will pass by the mighty Major Oak where Robin Hood avoided capture. The walk is about 6.5 miles with a shorter option for those who want it. It’s not too strenuous with only a slight incline. There are a number of great tea rooms; cafes and dog friendly pubs in Edwinstowe and also a café at the visitor centre. We look forward to seeing you on the day Notts HD New to Nottingham HD?
For those of you who have not walked with us before, we normally bring a packed lunch and walk for around 4 - 4.5 hours, with some people stopping for tea & refreshments before and afterwards. What to bring If you are new, you might want to read what you need to bring (food, drink, clothing) and a bit more general information about the walks on our general info page on this site.
