Shaw's Heritage Services operates several tours, including cruises on the River Trent and guided walks. But Shaw's coach tours into "Robin Hood Country" will quell a traveler's need for Hood lore. Tours visit Sherwood Forest and Major Oak, an enormous tree with a hollow trunk that is said to have hidden Robin Hood from his pursuers.
