Clumber Park and Sherwood Forest

We have just spent 10 days in Clumber walking round the woodland paths, an average of 8kms on each walk. The National Trust café has good 'café con leche' (latte) as does the Costa coffee shop in Worksop.

The avenue of lime trees,planted in 1840, is 2 miles (3.2kms) long and the longest in Europe. There are 1,296 common limes in a double avenue each side of the main road through Clumber Park.
We also had a short walk from Edwinstowe to the Major Oak. This is the oldest oak tree in Britain at 1,000 years old, already mature when Robin Hood was living in Sherwood Forest.
