Major Oak in Sherwood Forest - stock photo

Sherwood Forest is home to the famous Major Oak, which, according to local folklore, was Robin Hood principal hideout. The oak tree is between 800 and 1,000 years old and, since the Victorian era, its massive limbs have been partially supported by an elaborate system of scaffolding. In February 1998, a local company took cuttings from the Major Oak and began cultivating clones of the famous tree with the intention of sending saplings to be planted in major cities around the world. Sherwood Forest is a royal forest in Nottinghamshire, England, famous by its historical association with the legend of Robin Hood. The area has been a forest since the end of the Ice Age.
