Windows Live® Search Results Sherwood Forest, stretch of hilly country, Nottinghamshire, central England, lying between Nottingham and Worksop, extending about 32 km (20 mi) from north to south and 8 to 14 km (5 to 9 mi) from east to west. It was formerly a royal forest and is associated in tradition with the legendary English outlaw and folk hero Robin Hood. Of the original forest, only a few wooded areas remain. About 5,060 hectares (12,500 acres), mostly of pine, are now under national ownership. As part of a programme to increase the wooded areas of England, plans were announced in the early 1990s to restore the forest.
