'Robin Hood' is the name of a vicinity c. 2 km NE of Bassenthwaite Lake and c. 0.5 km NNW of Bassenthwaite village. It is included on the 6" O.S. map of the area published in 1867 as well as subsequent revisions (see Maps section below). Unless it originated as a name for the vicinity, 'Robin Hood' may initially have been used of the present Robin Hood Cottage or the adjacent Robin Hood Farm.
