Mansfield sits astride the River Maun, to the west of Sherwood Forest. Best known for its collieries and slag heaps, it has been a Roman settlement, royal burgh and thriving market town in its time.
These days nearby attractions include the Sherwood Forest Visitor Centre, where you can learn all about the legend of Robin Hood or start one of the many marked walks through the 450 acres of ancient Royal Forest.

2009 marks the 250th anniversary of Scottish poet Robert Burns' birth. Burns was a poet and a lyricist and is widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland.
The Burns Supper was started a few years after his death by a group of his friends; they held the supper to honour and remember Burns. The tradition caught on and the ritual of Burns Supper is now held all around the world.
His life and work will be celebrated throughout the year at many Burns-related events.
