[[File:|thumb|right|360px|Sign pointing to Robin Hood, at intersection of the Rake and the road to Uldale / Jan Pedersen and Jill Boyes, 8 July 2020.]]
By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2020-07-14. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2020-12-22. Photo courtesy Jan Pedersen and Jill Boyes.
A signpost at the intersection of a road named 'The Rake' and the road to Uldale, c. 1.5 km N of Bassenthwaite, points to the hamlet of Robin Hood (Bassenthwaite), located c. 1.5 km to the south and c. 2 km NE of Bassenthwaite.
As early as 1866, OS maps of the area include the label 'Guide post' at this intersection, though on the SE corner and not on the N side of the Road to Uldale, opposite the Rake. Since the hamlet of Robin Hood (Bassenthwaite) was already in existence, the signpost likely also read 'Robin Hood' back then. Template:PnItemQry
