Sherwood Forest Ancient Woodland

Down in Kiveton Park staying with Sal's mum for the weekend. I had a free couple of hours so made a flying visit down to Sherwood Forest at Edwinstowe. There were lovely blue skies all the time I was there. 

I didn't take the usual path which goes to The Major Oak but eventually did stumble across it. It always looks rather bleak in winter when there is no leaves on the branches and you can see all the poles and wires which are needed to support it these days. Surprisingly there were very few people about.

Had a nice coffee and piece of cake sat outside the Visitors Centre after my walk.
