5 Best Activities In Edwinstowe
Go Ape Sherwood Pines is why most families make the journey, and every other Edwinstowe entry is outdoors too — all five of them, which is unusual enough to plan around. Sherwood Forest Railway, Sherwood Forest Country Park and Robin Hoods Major Oak Treasure Trail are forest-shaped days out, and Sherwood Forest Fun Park is the only one on the list with any indoor space at all.

This is a forest and the list behaves like one: five entries, one roof between them. Waterproofs solve most of it, and a genuinely bad forecast is a reason to move the trip rather than push on and regret it.
Visiting Edwinstowe with kids: FAQs
Should we still come if rain is forecast?
Only if everyone is properly dressed for it. All five Edwinstowe entries are outdoor and just one, Sherwood Forest Fun Park, has indoor space, so there is no real bolthole once you are here. A forest in light rain is atmospheric and quiet; a forest in heavy rain with a four-year-old is a different experience entirely, and worth avoiding.
What works for younger children?
Sherwood Forest Railway is the gentlest entry on the list and asks nothing of short legs. Sherwood Forest Fun Park has the only indoor space on the list, so it is the safer half of a day out with a preschooler. Sherwood Forest Country Park works too, as long as you pick a short route and treat sticks and puddles as the main attraction.
Something more demanding for older kids?
Go Ape Sherwood Pines is the headline for that age group, with the height and age restrictions you would expect from a high ropes course, so check them before you book anything. Robin Hoods Major Oak Treasure Trail is the lower-key alternative, a self-guided walk with problems to solve, which keeps an older child engaged while younger ones set the pace.
