We visited Sherwood Forest during the summer holidays, but as I just finished an
oil painting based on the Robin Hood legend, it seems like a good time to catch up on the quick sketches I made there and at Rufford Abbey.
The ruins of Rufford Abbey, set within the house's own park, are within the Sherwood Forest area, but is not part of the Sherwood Forest Country Park, although both are run by Nottinghamshire County Council. Rufford is famed in the world of folk song for a true poaching incident - which you'll find in my
song drawing right at the very bottom of this post. If you want to listen to the song, I can recommend Jim Moray's version.
