Nottinghamshire is a region of delightful countryside, from undulating farmland to the dense canopy of Sherwood Forest, legendary 'home' of Robin Hood, England's most colourful folk hero. All the walks in this guide fall within or border the county and invite an exploration from the heart of the city of Nottingham, where, in Wollaton Park, red and fallow deer graze peacefully, to the wooded precincts of Clumber Park, location of a splendid High Victorian Gothic chapel. For lovers of natural history, ancient Sherwood Forest is teeming with wildlife.
