Welcome

A
vibrant and busy village in the heart of Sherwood Forest, Nottinghamshire,
an ideal location to explore local attractions such as Sherwood
Forest with the famous Major Oak, Sherwood Pines with its excellent
cycle routes and paths and Clumber Park and Rufford Park with
their beautiful grounds to explore. The High Street is a two
minute walk from the Sherwood Forest Visitor Centre and bustles
with a variety of individual and unique shops, where you can
browse for that perfect souvenir or gift, as well as butchers,
bakers, newsagent and a supermarket. Edwinstowe benefits from
a wide range of services and activities that cover all interests
and age groups. Such a diverse range of activities creates a
community spirit as there is always something going on.
