Edwinstowe sits on the southern edge of Sherwood Forest in the district of Newark and Sherwood, Nottinghamshire, England. The village takes its name from the early medieval king Edwin and is best known for its links to the Robin Hood legend - the ancient Major Oak and the forest trails around it are the biggest draw, and the parish church and local lanes retain a quietly historic, rural character.
Today the local economy mixes tourism, hospitality and small-scale retail with countryside pursuits; there are also echoes of the 20th-century coalfield era nearby and stately estates such as Thoresby Hall that have been repurposed for events and hospitality. Community life is lively for a village its size, with seasonal Robin Hood-themed events, walking and conservation activities in the woodland, and many people commuting to centres like Nottingham and Mansfield for work.
