- Signpost pointing to the hamlet of Robin Hood, at intersection of the Rake and the road to Uldale. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2020-07-14. Revised by … Photo courtesy Jan Pedersen and Jill Boyes. A signpost at the intersection of a road named 'The Rake' and the road to Uldale, c. 1.5 km N of Bassenthwaite, points to the hamlet of Robin Hood (Bassenthwaite), located c. 1.5 km to the south and c. 2 km NE of Bassenthwaite. As early as 1866, OS maps of the area include the label 'Guide post' at this intersection, though on the SE corner and not on the N side of the Road to Uldale, opposite the Rake. Since the hamlet of Robin Hood (Bassenthwaite) was already in existence, the signpost likely also read 'Robin Hood' back then. Gazetteers ⁃ Not included in Dobson, Richard Barrie 1976a, pp. 293-311.

- Robin Hood. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-08-30. Revised by … Robin Hood Farm is situated c. 2 km NE of Bassenthwaite Lake and c. 0.5 km NNW of Bassenthwaite village in an area labelled 'Robin Hood' on the 6" O.S. map of the area published in 1867 as well as subsequent revisions (see Maps section below). The name 'Robin Hood' may have originated as a name for the area, the present Robin Hood Cottage or, perhaps less likely, the farm. Not included on the O.S. maps, the name 'Robin Hood Farm' probably arose later, though hardly later than the 20th century, judging by the look of the sign next to the gate in the second photo in the Image Gallery below.

- Robin Hood. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-08-29. Revised by … 'Robin Hood' is the name of a vicinity c. 2 km NE of Bassenthwaite Lake and c. 0.5 km NNW of Bassenthwaite village. It is included on the 6" O.S. map of the area published in 1867 as well as subsequent revisions. Unless it originated as a name for the vicinity, 'Robin Hood' was perhaps initially used of the present Robin Hood Cottage or the adjacent Robin Hood Farm. A Robin Hood Wood, c. 200 m SSE of 'Robin Hood', may have provided the inspiration for the name of the latter, but one would be happier to draw this conclusion if the name of the wood had been recorded considerably earlier than that of the area, yet so far the earliest record we have for either is the 1867 map. There is another, still more speculative explanation. Within the 'Robin Hood' area was a well (see the 25" maps listed below), and 'Robin Hood's Well' is one of the most frequently occurring Robin Hood place-name (cf. the page on Places named …4 KB (535 words) - 13:53, 7 January 2021
