Sherwood Forest National Nature Reserve is home to the legend of Robin Hood and the famous Major Oak, voted England’s tree of the year in 2014. With almost 400 living ancient oaks and more than 500 veteran oaks, Sherwood is a treat for lovers of old trees. The site is also studded with many dead monoliths which stand guardian to the ancient forest. The Giant’s Trail visits just a few of these amazing natural sculptures including Stumpy and the Bee Tree, named after the wild honey bee colony within its hollow trunk.
