Protected Landscape and Seascape

Sherwood Pines Forest Park is a forest park near the village of Kings Clipstone in Nottinghamshire, England, originally known as Clipstone Heath before Forestry England acquired it in 1925 and planted it with trees in response to a post-World War I wood shortage. The largest park in the East Midlands, it offers walking, bushcraft and mountain biking with a visitor centre, and it is also home to the average point between the geographical centre and the population centre of Great Britain.
