Robin Hood's Stable.
By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2016-10-10. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-09-02.
Robin Hood's Stable is a cave cut into sandstone, located c. 150 m NNE of Papplewick Hall. Neither Dobson & Taylor nor the English Place-Name Society's volume on Nottingham provide any references. The earliest source I have found so far is the the 6" O.S. map of the area published in 1884 (see Maps section below)[1]
