The National Trust Clumber Park and Sherwood forest, home of the legend, Robin Hood, is 20 minutes away with many cycle trails, electric bicycles are available at our home (2). The area is full of history, Medieval cities, Lincoln and York with their magnificent ancient cathedrals are only 45 minutes away. In the year 2020 the area will be welcoming visitors to help celebrate 400 year anniversary of the Pilgrim Fathers arrival in America and many events are planned. In essence the ideal location to explore England from this central position, nowhere is far away. The Airport of Doncaster/Sheffield has twice daily flights from Amsterdam Schippol Airport, so it is possible to fly from anywhere in the world and arrive near to our home, the airport is 5 miles away.
