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 [[Robin Hood Holiday Park (Bassenthwaite)|Robin Hood Holiday Park]], which is situated immediately NW of [[Robin Hood (Bassenthwaite)]].
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|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|Robin Hood (Bassenthwaite)]] was already in existence, the signpost likely also read 'Robin Hood' back then.

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, 2021-01-07. 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.
