Sherwood Forest

Sherwood Forest is most famous for being the legendary home of Robin Hood, a heroic outlaw of English folklore. It is said he was an expert archer and swordsman, traditionally dressed in green and is often portrayed as ‘robbing from the rich and giving to the poor’ alongside his band of merry men.

Today, Sherwood Country Park is a heritage site of international importance, welcoming over 350,000 visitors a year. The Park works closely with a number of conservation and ‘green’ groups such as English Nature, the Countryside Commission and the nature Conservation Council. The groups are committed to managing the sustainable development of the forests natural resources, heritages and scientific interest, and the enjoyment and education of its visitors.

The students task is to question what insight they can gather from a photograph or image besides the obvious as well as carry out their own research of the woods to produce an in depth Trip Adviser review for others.
