Edwinstowe is a large village in Sherwood Forest, Nottinghamshire, England, with associations to the Robin Hood and Maid Marian legends. The population of the civil parish at the 2011 census was 5,188.

The village name meaning Edwin's resting place recalls that King (and Saint) Edwin of Northumbria's body was hidden in the church after he was killed in the Battle of Hatfield Chase, near Doncaster, probably in 633. The battle against King Penda of Mercia occurred near the present-day hamlet of Cuckney, some five miles north-west of modern Edwinstowe.

Edwinstowe is referenced twice in the Domesday Book. It records that there were five households, in addition to one priest and his four bordars, living in the hamlet in 1086.

Legend has it that Robin Hood married Maid Marian in St Mary's Church. Edwinstowe's present-day popularity is due mainly to the presence near the village of the Major Oak, a feature in the folklore of Robin Hood.

Thoresby Colliery served as Edwinstowe's main source of employment until July 2015, when the mine was permanently closed. The loss of the colliery, one of the last remaining and part of a national closure of the British deep-mined coal industry, has left tourism as the primary branch of the local economy. Nottinghamshire County Council's nearby Sherwood Forest Visitors' Centre is scheduled for redevelopment and improvement, with a contract awarded to RSPB, intended for completion by late 2017 at a projected cost of £5.3 million.

Edwinstowe has six pubs: the Black Swan, the Dukeries Lodge, Forest Lodge, Hammer and Wedge, the Manvers and the Royal Oak. Other catering facilities include the Edwinstowe Bistro Restaurant, the Cottage Tea Rooms, and Launay's Restaurant.
Environmental concerns are addressed at the Maun Valley Project Conservation Area.

Edwinstowe had a railway station between 1897 and 1955. A goods line remains. The nearest railway station today is at Mansfield (6 miles, 10 km). The village is served by twice-hourly, daytime Monday–Saturday bus services to Mansfield and Ollerton, six buses Monday–Saturday to Worksop, and one bus Monday–Friday to Nottingham. Services run twice a week to Newark and once a week to Lincoln.

Sandringham Castle & the Picturesque Gardens - Norfolk

The British Monarchy - Sandringham House
==================================
During the summer I visited the eastern coastal area of Norfolk. Here I visited a few places of interest in the area. Among them the Queen's winter retreat at Sandringham Castle took a special place.

The speciality of this castle is that the Queen addresses the nation from here every winter. The castle is very unique in the fact that it is wholly owned by the Queen and the antique pieces of furniture, paintings and other ornaments are all personally owned by the Royal Family. The castle showcases some fantastic paintings and pieces of furniture.

The private museum in the adjoining building also traces the Royal Family's history with some unique and rare photographs and personal items.No pictures are allowed inside the castle and in this building.
The Sandringham museum which is shown in this video is a block of buildings used formerly as horse stables and now houses a museum with the Royal Family artifacts which included their former horse carriages and vehicles.

The castle grounds are indeed very special and spectacular and it seems great care and effort have been made to make them what they are today. The Royal garden is so unique with all pastel shades of flora and amazing Landscape. This beautiful landscale really stole my heart.
Finally at the castle boundary is the church which the Royal Family visits for the Xmas services.

Sandringham is a friendly and informal place to visit with knowledgeable guides in every room ready to talk to visitors.
