Southwell Workhouse
Our day begins with an adventure at Sherwood Forest Visitor Centre, the gateway to the legendary home one of the world's best loved folk heroes! Those able can follow a trail through the forest and discover its most famous resident (after Robin Hood of course): the ancient Major Oak Tree. Next, it's on to the atmospheric Workhouse, also known as Greet House, in the town of Southwell. Built in 1824, this is the best-preserved workhouse in England. The stories of those who lived and worked here help bring the building to life and prompt reflection on how society has tackled poverty through the centuries. Is this a place of despair or a beacon of hope? Visit and decide for yourself.Mercure Sherwood Hotel, Nottingham
