Robin Hood Wood.
By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-09-07. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2018-07-12.
Robin Hood Wood barely deserves the name of wood, consisting of just two small stands of trees 300 or 400 m NE of Holden Lane and Robin Hood's Stone about halfway between West Norton and Silsden. The first reference to this place-name that I have found so far is the 6" O.S. map of the area published in 1909, based on surveying done in 1906. The 1853 map indicates a few trees but includes no name for them.
A PDF leaflet from Bradford Metropolitan District County (2010)[1] describing a walking route in the area, has an excellent map on which the wood and the nearby Robin Hood's Stone are both indicated.
