A good deal of tourism has been developed around Sherwood Forest in the past few decades to turn this wonderful natural asset into an outdoor playground. The Robin Hood Visitor Centre is still there welcoming holidaymakers in search of all things related to Robin Hood and it is still a fabulous place for a country walk, but so much more has now been added. There is self-catered holiday accommodation to rent in small holiday parks within the forest and also independent country cottages to rent in the countryside and small villages around the forest.
The village of Edwinstowe is a delightful place to stay on the edge of Sherwood Forest. A quiet village with enough eateries and pubs to satisfy most holidaymakers, it is the kind of place where you can still watch cricket played on a Sunday afternoon and take the dog for a walk.
Anyone planning to go birdwatching during their holiday would be pleased to know that RSPB Budby is there. A mixed leaf forest like Sherwood can be good for birdwatching.
A self-catered holiday near Sherwood Forest
A holiday near Sherwood Forest would be amazing for a family with children aged under twelve. There are plenty of activities for them in the forest and a Robin Hood festival is held for a week in August every year that encourages youngsters to participate in archery and other forest activities. Just book a place to stay and build a list of activities to keep the family busy and enjoying themselves. Self-catered holidays are best for families because they are most economical. You are not only able to cook for the family but also to make packed lunches to take out for the day. That really makes your holiday money go further.
