Today, Sherwood Forest is a popular tourist destination, attracting visitors from all over the world who come to explore its ancient trees, tranquil glades, and historic landmarks.

One of the most striking features of Sherwood Forest is its ancient oak trees. Some of these trees are over 1,000 years old, and they are among the oldest living things in England. These majestic oaks are a testament to the enduring power of nature, and they provide a home for a wide variety of wildlife, including deer, foxes, and badgers. Visitors to Sherwood Forest can take a leisurely stroll through the woods, admiring the beauty of these ancient trees and the peacefulness of the forest.

Sherwood Forest is also home to a number of historic landmarks, including the Major Oak, which is said to have been Robin Hood's favorite hiding place. This massive tree is estimated to be over 800 years old, and it is one of the most famous trees in England. Visitors can also explore the ruins of the 12th-century St. Mary's Church, which was once a thriving community hub in the heart of the forest.
