'Robin Hood' is the name of a moorland top on the ridge between the upper reaches of Crookdale and Borrowdale. The earliest known record is an 1859 MS Ordnance Survey name book in which the locality is indicated as 'Robin Hood Wood'.[1]
A.H. Smith's Place-Names of Westmorland, refers to an 1865 O.S. map[2], but the place-name is in fact indicated on a slightly earlier (1863) 6" O.S. map of the area (see Maps section below).
