Nottingham, au centre de l'Angleterre, est la ville du célèbre shérif. Au pied de son château se dresse une statue en bronze de Robin des Bois (1952). À une trentaine de kilomètres, dans ce qui reste de la forêt de Sherwood, le Major Oak, un chêne de 800 à 1 000 ans, est l'un des arbres les plus célèbres du pays : la légende raconte que Robin et ses compagnons s'y cachaient. Superlatif : the oldest (adjectif court), the most famous (adjectif long).
