Honestly not much to see but may be of interest to Robin Hood fans. Robin Hood's Cave near Ollerton is situated on a bend in the River Maun north of the village it consists of an outcrop of Sherwood Sandstone which Robin Hood reputedly used as one of his many hideaways. The river at this point, and the 'cave' are only a few yards from the route of the King's Highway to York which formed the eastern boundary of Sherwood Forest from the 13th century. This was the main routeway through Sherwood Forest from Nottingham to York. The location would therefore have been a great ambush site.

This section of bridleway passes through the natural floodplain of the river so parts of it have a tendency to be in pretty bad shape even if it hasn’t rained for a while

The Trent can be crossed at Torksey, there is also an old viaduct there. The only trouble is that it has a stile and steps at each end. At the Cottam side it is a grass field then a rough track that leads to Rampton. Sustrans is working on it.

Between the A1 at Newark and the A57 at Newton this is the only alternative way of getting cross the Trent river (that I know of). The path beyond the bridge curves so you can get a good view of it’s 59 arches.
