A masterplan is being developed to maximise the offering for visitors at a popular tourist destination. Newark and Sherwood District Council and partner organisations are working together to address the gap between expectations and reality for visitors at Sherwood Forest.
The plan being developed will focus on the development of Forest Corner, north of Edwinstowe, which acts as the primary entrance to Sherwood Forest and they will also be looking to improve the Robin Hood experience. Work initially began on the masterplan and developing Forest Corner in 2019, with an online public consultation on draft proposals taking place in July 2020.
The project was stalled until September 2022 to prioritise supporting coronavirus recovery in the district. Since then the District Council has been working closely with partners, such as Nottinghamshire County Council and the RSPB, to develop a plan on the short and long term ages that are needed for the area.
