Cette célèbre forêt, dont le nom est étroitement associé à la légende de Robin des bois, est le lieu où se dresse le légendaire Major Oak, qui d'après le folklore local, était la principale cachette de Robin des Bois. L'ancien chêne serait âgé de 800 à 1000 ans, et, depuis l'ère victorienne, ses branches massives sont supportées par un système de tuteurs pour éviter qu'elles ne se cassent.
