Records have shown Robin Hood lived in Barnsdale Forest [the area across Wakefield, Barnsley and Doncaster]. He had more links with the Sheriff of York and only ever went to Nottingham a couple of times.
It's believed he came from Loxley, Sheffield.
The ballads of Robin Hood & Sherwood Forest are just that -
amalgamations of recorded accounts/local knowledge from different years and fabricated in later years to give the legend of the Nottinghamshire Robin Hood and His Merry Men.
i had been looking for info on the "real robin hoods grave " online when i found this! I shall have to visit the sit myself sometime. I still cannot believe how many locals have never heard of the Brighouse Vampire or Real Robin Hoods Grave ! What a great local legend this is ....i first heard of it in the 90s when i read a book by Bishop Sean Manchester about it , if you want to know more people - just google it. I don't know about "Vampire activity" but the Robin Hood Story is interesting...
HI wp. These posts dont seem to be in any order! That tv series has a Friar Tuck joining up--is it in King Richards time--the series--if so there were no friars then.
you should probably do much more research mate, 'Much of the action in the early ballads takes place in Nottinghamshire, and the earliest known ballad shows the outlaws fighting in Sherwood Forest' wikipedia bitch. allthough as far as we know he did die in yorkshire so you can have some credit
It is indeed if you go there at night, I have been a few times in the past. My great great grandfather is reputed to have dug up the grave with Lord armytage after a drinking session in the hope of finding the bones Of Robin Hood nothing was found as far as I know but that is no suprise after so long under all the leaf mold.
From what i know is that the actuall grave will not be the actuall spot where he is buried.apparantly he could be buried on any location on the hill.But back to the haunting i love it and nights up there are definatly for any one who loves to be scared the shit out of
When I was around 10 a mate and I found another grave stone on the other side of the Kirklees estate deep in the undergrowth which stated here lies the body of Robin Hood, I cant remember the exact wording but by the lettering style and age of the thing it was about 18thc. Tried locating it again a few years back but no luck
whereabouts would this be? is it by the old horse stabels a bit further up from the grave?
were planning another night up there on the 12june if your local try make it bring at least three people because that balances the spirits out an uneven number means disaster exspecially at a hellish place like that bring as many as you like as long as the number is even with my three.You are more than welcome my friend look us up
Ive visited the grave a good few times, it is as if time is blurred and the earth whispers her secrets there to those who go to listen. But go to heartshead first, and leaving a votive offering to the yew tree of that place and ask for a blessing for your visit, then then continue via the old path which ends at the three nuns pub.
Gave is on private land patrolled by Bailiffs, It has open day 2 a year.

Robin Hood is from Yorkshire, he never set foot in Nottingham I am afraid.

There are no accounts of Mr Hood in Nottinghamshire. Robin Hood is a yorkshireman just like Jimmy Saville.
