Nottinghamshire hotspot named one of England's top tourist attractions

The home of Robin Hood has been named one of the top tourist attractions in England. Sherwood Forest ranked tenth in a league table topped by Buckingham Palace and dominated by London landmarks.

Big Ben, the London Eye, Trafalgar Square and Tower Bridge all feature in the top ten. The only other attractions outside London to feature are Stonehenge and the Peak District.

Sherwood Forest, the legendary stomping ground of Robin Hood and his Merry Men and home to the 1,000-year-old Major Oak, attracts around 350,000 visitors a year. As well as the forest, there's a visitor centre, trails, events and cabins for overnight stays.
