The Fall of Sherwood’s Legendary Oak

The legendary 1,200-year-old Major Oak, Robin Hood’s rumored hideout, has died — a poignant symbol of how human fascination and climate change can unravel even the mightiest natural monuments.

Now fallen, it remains a sacred landmark, its legend alive and its ecological role enduring — a silent testament to nature’s fragility under human gaze.
