Robin Hood's Arbour.
By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-12-20. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-12-22.
Robin Hood's Arbour is a square prehistoric earthwork close to Maidenhead Thicket. By the late 17th century it was known as 'Robin Hood's Bower', which is still today an alternative name for it. Dobson & Taylor believed the existence of this place name already in the late 17th cent. was the reason Thomas Hearne included the Chiltern Hills among Robin's haunts.[1]
