Nottinghamshire is home to many must-visit traps: the largest antique fair in Europe, Newstead Abbey, and perhaps best of all, Sherwood Forest. This forest is tied to the legend of Robin Hood, a key character in English folklore. His hideout, The Major Oak, is an ancient tree that’s a piece of history in itself. It’s said to be anywhere between 800 to 1,000 years old. Besides its affiliation with Robin Hood, Sherwood Forest used to be a royal hunting ground for Norman kings. Combining history and wonderful trails, this forest is a great site to cross off your bucket list.
For your vacation, a cozy cabin with idyllic views and a bubbling hot tub is the perfect choice. Keep reading to find the best cabins with hot tub near Sherwood Forest, UK.
