Robin Wood's Rock is a whin point in the North Sea, c. 480 meters from the coast at high tide, c. 140 meters at low tide, in Beadnell Bay, Northumberland. As Dobson & Taylor note, 'Wood' was a not uncommon alternative for 'Hood' in the 17th and 18th centuries.[1] A standard work on the coastal geography of England and Wales cites the name of this locality as 'Robin Hood's Rock'.[2] So far the earliest is the 6" O.S. map of the area published in 1886 (see Maps section below).
