- 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.

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.

Revised by … 'Robin Hood Cottage' is a holiday home for rent Cumbrian Cottages: Robin Hood Cottage. situated in a vicinity known as 'Robin Hood' c. 2 km NE of Bassenthwaite Lake and some 600 m NNW of Bassenthwaite village. It is possible that the name 'Robin Hood', included on the 6" O.S. map of the area published in 1867 as well as subsequent revisions (see Maps section below), was originally used of the cottage and subsequently came to be applied to the vicinity in which it is located, but it may also have originated as the name for the adjacent Robin Hood Farm or the whole vicinity. The name 'Robin Hood Cottage' seems to have arisen more recently, probably some time in the second half of the 20th century, judging by the look of the sign in the driveway that reads 'Robin Hood House and Cottage' (see the second image in the Image Gallery below).

- 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.
