Robin Hood Attraction

Robin Hood Site

Nottinghamshire County Council is seeking to build a £13 million visitor attraction called Discover Robin Hood in Sherwood Forest, complete with medieval castle and fortified ramparts. If the plans are approved, the 40-acre attraction would open in spring 2015.

Thought I would post this as it's local to me. In my opinion this has been needed for a long, long time! The visitors centre as it stands is very dated and has needed a boost for a while now, if the plans get apporoved and they pull it off to look like the drawings seen there then this could be a fantastic little place.

Got any links to the plans/drawings?

Anything that celebrates a proto-Marxist who believed in taking from the rich and giving to the poor is worth doing.

Only the drawing in the article I've linked im afraid. When I'm home from work I'll have a look on the N&SDC planning site and see if I can dig some out.

Still looks quite impressive from that one picture. What I hope they don't do it compromise on quality in pursuit of quantity - I'd rather a smaller park that is more impressively themed and immersive than a huge park built to a relatively restrictive budget.

I'm rather glad Nottinghamshire County Council are looking at a Robin Hood attraction again after the Tales of Robin Hood and the World of Robin Hood both closed down. It is a big revenue earner for the local area and we should enbrace it more.

UPDATE: It is still planned to open in Spring 2015 even though they have been delayed at bit by Notts County Council and because the site is of special scientific importance. See the article by the BBC here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-22485217 .

Thanks for posting this Nat, I had been wondering if anything was happening with it recently. Glad to see it's still on track
