The area of the forest dates back to the end of the last Ice Age, Sherwood is now reduced to the 422 hectares (4.22 square kilometers) surrounding the village of Edwinstowe. Today’s forest is a remnant of the Royal Hunting Forest, called Nottinghamshire’s shire wood, which actually spanned several neighboring counties (comarches), bordered to the west by the River Erewash and East Derbyshire Forest.
The Forestry Commission manages most of the forest and controls hiking and a number of other activities. Part of the forest was opened as a country park to the public in 1969 by the Nottinghamshire County Council, which manages a small part of the forest.
In 2002, part of Sherwood Forest was designated a National Nature Reserve by the English Nature agency. Some parts of the forest still have many very old oaks, particularly in the part known as Dukeries, south of the town of Worksop.
Sherwood Forest attracts 500,000 tourists from all over the world every year. The number of visitors increased significantly after the BBC launched the Robin Hood series. [Citation needed] The park hosts the annual Robin Hood Festival for one week every summer.
This event recreates a medieval atmosphere and the characteristics of the main characters of the Robin Hood legend. The week of entertainment includes wandering actors dressed in medieval clothing, as well as a medieval encampment with jesters, musicians, alchemists and fire-eaters.
