Okay so I watch RUclips videos while practicing a musical instrument. I queue them up and let em go. When I get to yours I always have to crank the volume just to hear you. That introduces noise, but worse is when the next video in the queue comes up. It just about blows the speakers unless I get to it quickly enough to turn it back down. This is a problem on all your channels.
@@JohnBrown-z2u I have had that problem before but not on Simons' channels. I have a TruVolume setting on my speakers that tries to fix that by making sudden changes in volume even out (mostly for commercials). I have found it doesn't work that great, but it helps for RUclips videos.
Sad to say, I've been living in Notts, about 15 minutes from Mansfield for 10 years & I've yet to visit Sherwood Forrest. This video makes me want to do that on my next day off work! Thanks for educating me, Simon. Congratulations on the newest member of your family x
Robin Hood and Little John, walking through the forest Laughing back and forth at what the other one has to say Reminiscing this and that and having such a good time Oo-de-lally, oo-de-lally, golly, what a day…
I'm very lucky to live in Mansfield and spend a lot of time in the forest. The Visitor Centre is brilliant and a big improvement in what it was like about 5 years ago. Creswell Crags had been revamped from when I was a kid and it was then just a dump of a place. Both are amazing places to visit. We walk our dog regularly at Rufford, and there are many other amazing places to visit in the area.
It's not a bad little centre now, They have been doing alot of work at the crags, lucky enough to live within walking distance. Not been to the forest centre since it was redone so i can't speak to that.
Loved this. I am a Nottinghamian born and bred and knew most of the information, but I still gleaned a few new snippets, and I loved the presentation. Can’t wait to go and visit again. Thank you!!
I love anything to do with Robin Hood, but gosh I've always loved Sherwood Forest on its own. I so wish I could go there someday. It seems like a wonderful place to enjoy nature.
@@MrBounce66 That's cool! Unfortunately that would be a long way off (I'm American), but once I do have the ability to visit I'm definitely taking some time to visit places like this!
Seeing you here is kind of humorous, especially given the depth and comprehensive nature of your own videos. In all honesty, I find this channel to be a nice companion to your own, as you both cover many of the same topics. I've actually watched your Sea Peoples documentary at least a dozen times since the Covid-19 lockdowns started last year.
@@HistoryTime between you and Simon, I have received a better education in history than any public school course ever offered. Thanks for putting out high quality content that is so easily digested.
@@greenkoopa definitely up there with the Sea Peoples documentary, in terms of "Best RUclips Documentary". What would TV be like if Nat Geo and History Channel were held to the standard set by History Time?
@@RbkARI hindsight is a wonderful thing...tbh I was driving while she was watching. She loves the channel. I did explain that for some people like Simon, the hair up north sometimes vacates down south and becomes problematic. Her response.. "old people problems"
I live 15 minutes from sherwood forest and Cresswell craggs. We go mountain biking around sherwood forest, clumber Park, Rufford, Thoresby, centreparks and sherwood pines. Its a 25 mile loop...awesome ride Its one big loop.
I found this interesting for I live in the town of Worksop, North Nottinghamshire. Worksop is called "The Gateway To The Dukeries" due to our location and the amount of stately homes around our area e.g. Clumber, Welbeck and Thoresby. You mentioned the army using Sherwood and can remember seeing tanks cross the road as you approach Sherwood visitors area. Welbeck Abbey used to be an army cadet place where military officers were trained, now has a brewery that produces some good ales. We are steeped in history in this neck of the Britain and the town itself has a church that used to be a monastery dating back to 1103, this being The Worksop Priory Church.
My grandma remembers going in the Robin tree to bad can't go in anymore :( we also visited little John's supposed grave under a yew tree I think it was lol I was 11 when I went to Sherwood nice place
11:03 I spy my office. Despite working in the building for 17 years I've yet to have anything paranormal communicate with me. Doesn't stop me talking to them, or at least using that as an excuse when I talk to myself. Thanks for mentioning the venerable Major Hayman Rooke :)
@@ItzDylanM It's full of dead flies at the minute :D Perils of working in an old building! But yes, it's an amazing office, aside from the indoor wildlife!
just offer the Ents free access to 5G, they might be fine with it. Though, as Ent assemblies are known to be "not so hasty" decision making may take a while... wait, sounds familiar 😁 Of course, they will insist on Ent-to-Ent encryption 😂 And btw, there's no apostrophe in the nominative plural
Maybe we need Ents. We're shamelessly wrecking our forests and jeoparding their long-term survival. Can you imagine if Ents started protecting the Amazon forest?
Cresswell Crag was / is the most northern point of cave art from that time period in the UK. It also hosted woolly Rhinos, lions, hyena's and hippo's in it's far past. One side of the Crag is within the Nottinghamshire boundary and the other side is within the Derbyshire boundary. The side that receives most light are the caves with the ancient etchings and painting, whilst the other side was used for inhabiting when they followed herds for hunting. Amazing place to visit!
been there once with my family on a road trip heathrow->edinburgh. the entire trip heathrow->sherwood was marked with spontaneous exclamations of "to the sherwood forest!"
In 2002 I was volunteering with a forestry group cutting invasive trees out of Sherwood forest. We would find shoes, pots and pans all kinds of things.
20:37 This reminds me, the shipbuilding industry was reallocated to North America during the 17th to 19th century because the coastal areas were rich with virgin forest. A video on this might be interesting.
Thank you Simon, awesome as always. Cudos to cast and crew. I'm almost tempted to break my own rule and fly to Ireland, Wales and Middle England to see the places my people are from. Almost.
Hey, many tavern owners were pretty poor and I am sure the people Robin was based off gave them a lot of money. The "Hood" thing seems to have been a term for outlaws in Norman times.
Actually the earliest ballad of Robin Hood "A Gest of Robyn Hode" places him in Barnsdale rather than in the Sherwood Forest: "Robyn stode in Bernesdale, And lenyd hym to a tre, And bi hym stode Litell Johnn, A gode yeman was he."
2:55 Simon's writers have a habit of suggesting that Denmark isn't a part of Scandinavia, as I have heard it in other videos too. Yet it is. And in fact Snorre Sturlason, the Icelandic saga author, called all Scandianvian languages the "Danish tongue" in Heimskringla from c. 1230. Thus -by placenames are equally as likely to be Danish as the -thorpe ones, also when looking at geographical spread of the name types. Also, just check a map of Denmark to see how many -by placenames we have here! Admittedly, -torp/-thorpe endings do appear to be more common in the the historical Denmark than in the rest of Scandinavia, so it is may be more or less correct to directly associate those with Denmark. But still. Denmark IS in Scandinavia!
If you are willing to travel, consider an episode on the island of Pohnpei, in Micronesia. There is a city, mostly underwater now, called Nan Midol. It was the capitol of an empire that ruled the Pacific under the Sadeleurs. It's a fascinating place.
Little known historical fact: Sherwood Forest was the home of England's last Elven population. This small but ancient community was destroyed by the Norman invaders circa 1130. In case you are wondering J.R.R Tolkien was a lecturer in Anglo-Saxon at Oxford and spoke Old and Middle-English fluently. He discovered evidence of the history of the last of the Elves whilst deciphering manuscripts that pre-dated the Norman invasion. This provided him with with the necessary knowledge to help him elaborate, with such vivid detail, Elven life in both The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.
Who else is wondering when Simon will finally do a Geographics on Prague and/or the Czech Republic (Czechia?) ?! tbh I'd love to, one day, visit this country!!
I'm pretty local to cresswell and robin hood's cave but the the cave of robin hood that I know and one you show at 13:57 is on stanage Edge which is about an hour's drive away but Iay have to go scope out the crags one day
Might be worth mentioning the Eagle lecturn that the monks at Newstead Abbey threw into a fishpond to prevent it - and the title deeds hidden inside - falling into the wrong hands during the Dissolution of the Monasteries.
Simon, perhaps you could create a mini doc about the caverns in The Mendips in Somerset. My grandparents told me some of the legends related to that area of Southwest England. Thank you.
Simon! Do a video about the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Bombing! Reason I ask is because I was actually born on that day 25 years ago in a town close from Atlanta and it’s a pretty interesting, yet sad story.
Ha! I live in Sherwood - it's a district of Nottingham City, quite a few miles from the forest though! One niggle Simon - the picture you showed of Robin Hood's cave wasn't the cave at Cresswell, but the one at Stanage Edge in (spit!) Derbyshire! Mind you it is near Hathersage which is where Little John is buried - Allegedly!

the best of all film adaptations of the legend of Robin Hood is Richard "Kip" Carpenter's novel Robin of Sherwood starring Michael Praed ☝
Agreed. Clannad's music was as much a character as the actors.

Robin Hood also incorporates parts of the stories of Hereward the Exile & Fulk FitzWarin (both worth a look for another vid…)
