Sherwood Pines Forest Park
Sherwood Pines
The largest public forest in the East Midlands, with forest cycling trails, a Go Ape high-ropes adventure and walking paths, ideal for outdoor sports and family days.
Sherwood Pines is managed by the Forestry Commission England. Its roughly 1,300 hectares of pine forest include several cycle trails ranging from family-friendly routes to off-road tracks, and bikes can be hired on site. Go Ape treetop adventure and zip-wire courses, a children's play area and walking routes are also popular. Entry to the forest is free, parking is charged, and there is a café. The forest lies about 5 km from the Sherwood Forest Visitor Centre, so the two can be visited on the same day.
