'Robin Hood Cottage', a holiday home for rent,[1] is situated in a vicinity known as 'Robin Hood', overlooking Bassenthwaite Lake. The name 'Robin Hood Cottage' seems to have originated quite recently. It is possible that the name 'Robin hood' was originally used of the cottage and subsequently came to be applied to the vicinity in which it is located, but it may also have originated as the name for the adjacent Robin Hood Farm or indeed to the whole vicinity.
About 150 m SSE of Robin Hood Cottage is found Robin Hood Wood. For other Robin Hood names in the vicinity, see Robin Hood (Bassenthwaite) and Robin Hood Farm (Bassenthwaite).
