Sherwood Forest Railway
Tourist attraction
👍 Lovely little railway hidden away down a small lane. Free parking on site. Helpful staff on the train and in the little shop. Quite a few bits of play equipment to keep the kids entertained before and after your train ride which is good value and fun. Could be improved by creating something to do at...

Hardwick Hall Visitor Centre
Visitor center
👍👍 I haven't been inside but it's nice place for walk. Big area to have nice family walk when you can spot cows and wild animals. A bit muddy but with "winter" weather its not surprising. A bit of Noise from motorway but it's not disturbing walk and chilling at all.

Parliament Oak
Nature preserve
👍👍 Great tree but a shadow of its former self.
Estimated to be around 1200 years old.
Thank you Sherwood Forest Trust for the very interesting information board.
The tree appears healthier now than when the photos on the board were taken in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century.
