- Robin Hood's Island. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2016-08-17. Revised by … Robin Hood's Island (or Robin Hood Island) is a small wooded rock in River Kent at a point approximately equidistant from Helsington, Natland, and Sedgwick, midway between Low Park Wood and Hawes Wood. It is first mentioned in a rental dated 1836. Dobson, Richard Barrie 1976a, p. 305, s.n. 'Robin Hood Island'. Immediately SE of Robin Hood's Island, on the S bank of River Kent is/was located Robin Hood's Wood and 375 m SSW is/was found Robin Hood's Well.

- Robin Hood's Well. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2016-08-17. Revised by … Robin Hood's Well is or was located at the southern end of an arm of Low Bank Wood that stretches north along the west bank of River Kent. It was situated at a point approximately equidistant from Helsington, Natland, and Sedgwick. About 375 m NNE of the well is found Robin Hood's Island, a small wooded rock in River Kent, and immediately SE of the island on the east bank of the river is Robin Hood's Wood. The well is first recorded on 6" O.S. map Lancashire IX, published 1851-63, but based on surveying carried out 1847-58 (see Maps section below). It is not found on later 6" O.S. maps of the area that are online at NLS. A small island in a river may have appealed to a child's imagination, and perhaps these three localities were named by children playing in this area?

- Robin Hood and Little John, Hampsfield By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2019-02-15. Revised by … Two large stones of mountain limestone on Hampsfield Allotment, immediately east of Heaning Wood, c. 1.3 km SE of Field Broughton, used to be known as 'Robin Hood and Little John'. Though their collective name seems to have gone out of use, the two large stones still exist. The earliest record of Robin Hood and Little John known to IRHB is a 6" O.S. map published in 1851, based on a survey carried out in 1848. The name is included in 6" and 25" O.S. maps published as late as c. 1947 and possibly later. James Stockdale noted in 1872 (see Allusions below) that they had "from time immemorial gone by the names of Robin Hood and Little John", but "[n]o reasons for these names are known". He suggested that they might have served as boundary marks for shepherds when the area was unenclosed. A recent arcaheological survey lists the stones as "possibly boundary markers of Medieval date", noting …5 KB (617 words) - 13:53, 7 January 2021

- Butt Hill or Robin Hood Butts, about midway between Bentham and Clapham in Craven. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2014-09-05. Revised by … But Hill, c. 3.6 km E of Bentham and c. 3.8 km W of Clapham, in Craven, also known as 'Robin Hood But', Robin Hood Butts or Robin Hoods's Butt, is probably a natural feature. The name 'Robin Hood Butts' is first recorded with reference to this locality in the 1738 parish register of Thornton-in-Lonsdale. Chippingdall, William Harold 1931a. Not seen, but cf. Smith, Albert Hugh 1961a, pt. VI, p. 241. 'Robin Hood But' is included on Jeffery's Map of Yorkshire, prepared 1771 and published the following year (see Maps section and image gallery below). The hill or mound is probably a natural feature but was tentatively included, under the name 'Robin Hood's Butt', in a list of mottes which was published in 1889. It is noted there that it 'is a mound, but its character is doubtful'. Clark, George T 1889a, see p. 207, where the mound is incorrectly …5 KB (744 words) - 02:33, 30 May 2021

- Robin Hood. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-08-28. Revised by … 'Robin Hood' is the name of a moorland top on the ridge between the upper reaches of Crookdale and Borrowdale. The earliest known record is an 1859 MS Ordnance Survey name book in which the locality is listed as 'Robin Hood Wood'. Smith, Albert Hugh 1967a, pt. II, p. 176. Dobson & Taylor (see Gazetteers section), citing Smith as source, mistakenly refer to an 1859 O.S. map. Smith's source reference reads ' OS ' (in italics), not 'OS'. Somewhat unusually, the county volumes of the English Place-Name Society use italics for inline source references to MSS, but ordinary type for those to printed sources. Thus 'OS' (without italics) refers to a printed Ordnance Survey map, but this italicized reference is to an MS Ordnance Survey name book, cf. Smith, pt. I, p. lxvi. Evidently there must at one time have been a wood or stand of trees there. All later sources refer to 'Robin Hood' tout court. A. H. Smith's Place-Names …5 KB (629 words) - 13:53, 7 January 2021

It is listed under that name as a pasture with an area of 4 acres, 2 roods and 25 perches ( m 2 ) in the tithe award for Giggleswick drawn up 1843-45. Its owner was then the Reverend Edward Francis Witts, its occupier Thomas Maudsley. Smith, Albert Hugh 1961a, vol. VI, p. 156.
