Robin Hood's Oak.
By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-08-07. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2021-01-06.
First recorded in 1574, Robin Hood's Oak stood on Colneford Hill, where the road now known as the A1124 enters White Colne.[1] It may indeed "have been associated with tales of the outlaw",[1] but it seems just as likely that it owed its name to being used as a venue for Robin Hood festivals or a stopping point for a procession connected with such a festival.
