Nottingham is surrounded by thick and amazing Sherwood Forest, which has become internationally famous due to connection with the name of the legendary thief Robin Hood. This name has become widely known more than seven hundred years ago; Robin Hood has always been the synonym of justice and romanticism. This atmosphere can be felt even in the modern city as many sights and cultural programs are devoted to the stories about the exploits and adventures of Robin Hood. He became a kind of the symbol of the city. Some streets of Nottingham are named after him, as well as restaurants and pubs.
