See the old Major Oak where Robin Hood and his Merry Men would hide before they stole from the rich. This tree is about 1000 years old and it's supported by beams. Come check it out!

Could have been so much better. A lovely forest walk, and they've spent a fortune on the shop and…read morecafe, apparently, but apart from the stuff at the shop the only reference to Robin Hood is two statues on a little bridge with Little John and RH himself. A small museum or exhibition would have been welcome. You can find shops and cafes anywhere. And £3 for an ice cream from the van is pushing it. There seemed more to see with the older set up. Not that impressed. Sorry.

Went here about 5 years ago now, but i dont think it has changed much in that time. They have some…read morevery nice shire horses which i believe are being rehomed when they close the centre.

A Fascinating Day Out…read more We got a discount vouchers for this place and thought it might be interesting and it certainly was. Our guide whose name escape me just now was an absolute joy to listen to as using his knowledge he brought the whole tour alive. From the ingredients in beer to the brewing process through the ages including some beautiful vintage vehicles to the steam engine what was supposed to last 11/2 hours ended up being at least 2 hours not that it seemed to be that long. All in all we had a great time so much so that we intend to return and would certainly recommend it.

This has recently re-opened as the National Brewery Centre and has had a bit of a facelift. It is a…read moresmall museum which shows the history of brewing in Burton with a mix of machinery, video displays and wall boards. A family ticket - two adults and two children - is £27.50 which covers the museum and four drinks tasters (1/7th pint each) per person (squash for the kids, beer for the grown-ups). There is plenty of free parking. Sadly the whole thing was a bit of a disappointment. Most of the video displays were broken, the shire horses were out, and there was very little actually to experience. Anything interesting was cordoned off, so we could look at the outside of a bus, a train, some machinery, but not get close. Basically it is a small museum, with a couple of rooms of stuff in but not much to engage with. It is hard to see how they justify the new grander name of "The National Brewery Centre" and £27.50 is even harder to justify. When I was there they were doing some development work, so I hope they are expanding and improving. As of today though, one to miss.
