Sherwood Forest Railway

Near the historic village of Edwinstone is Sherwood Forest Railway, a charming escape for families, train enthusiasts and anyone looking for a special place to explore.

Sherwood Forest itself is steeped in myth and history, most famously that of Robin Hood and his Merry Men, but even today the forest is still brimming with ancient oaks, winding trails, and even more stories waiting to be discovered.

After a ride through the trees, little adventurers can let off steam at the outdoor play centre, while grown-ups enjoy a well-earned break at Colleen's Cabin, serving hot drinks, snacks, and sweet treats.
