Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SHA-SIV
SHERWOOD FOREST , one of the ancient English forests, in
Nottinghamshire
 . It extended from Nottingham northward to Worksop, being over 20 M. long and from 5 to 9 M. broad. The soil is sandy and poor, and although a considerable portion has been brought under cultivation, the
district
  preserves many traces of its ancient character, especially as a
great
  part of it is covered by the domains included under the modern name of the Dukeries (q.v.), Sherwood was a crown forest from the time of
Henry
  II. and a favourite hunting-ground of several kings; the land was divided between various lords of the manor, and its disafforestation was carried out at various times. The forest is traditionally noted as the
retreat
  of Robin Hood, whose cave is seen at Papplewick near Newstead.
