The delightful District of Newark and Sherwood extends a warm welcome to you. Newark and Sherwood's most famous inhabitant was, of course, Robin Hood, a name associated, with many of our towns and villages.  For example, Edwinstowe, where Robin Hood and Maid Marian were said to have married; Blidworth with Will Scarlett's burial place and Maid Marian's cottage; Sherwood Forest and the Major Oak. Of course, many pubs, accommodation and road names reflect Robin Hood's importance (e.g Robin's Rest B&B, Marion's Manor, Forest Lodge, Maid Marion Avenue, etc).

There are two very interesting market towns - historic Newark-on-Trent with important Civil War connections and the pretty little town of Southwell, famous for its Bramley apple and with an imposing Norman Minster.

You will also be able to discover a wealth of attractive villages, many of which have retained their special traditions - maypole dancing, the medieval system of Open Field Farming, the smallest pub and the Best Kept Phone Box in the world!!

A number of places are associated with famous names, such as Charles I, Byron, Darwin, Helen Cresswell, Kate Greenaway...  Consult our Gazetteer on the homepage to find out more.
