By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2016-08-17. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2019-04-05.
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.[1]
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. A small island in a river may have appealed to a youthful imagination. Were these three localities named by children playing in this area? Template:PnItemQry
