Robin Hood's Chase is a path in Nottinghams connecting, to the north-west, Woodborough Road and, to the south-east, St Anne's Well Road. Currently the earliest source on record at IRHB for this place-name is a 6" O.S. map of Nottingham published in 1885 and surveyed in 1880-81. The official form of the name, used on road signs etc., is now 'Robin Hood Chase'.
