Why go
James Woodford gave the legendary archer a physical presence in the city, surrounded by quieter figures of his Merry Men. Comparing the poised bowman with the reclining companions makes this more rewarding than a quick portrait photograph, and the castle walls explain why the group belongs here.
What to look for
- Robin aims his drawn bow towards the castle gatehouse.
- Reclining figures depict groups of the Merry Men.
- The bronze figures stand beneath the castle walls.
