The Robin Hood Way is a long-distance footpath in Nottinghamshire that runs through varied landscapes, connecting Nottingham Castle with historical locations across the region. The route traverses forests, fields, and villages, offering diverse terrain along the entire length of the trail.
The path was established in 1985 by members of the Nottingham Wayfarers' Rambling Club, originally running from Nottingham Castle to Edwinstowe Church. This creation provided a structured walking route through the region's historic landscapes.
