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).

For other examples of 'Wood' for 'Hood', see the page on Wood for Hood.
