I’ve put the village hall here because it’s the only option Airbnb has to point you to the local historic village of Laxton. It is the only village in the U.K. that still farms the same system as during feudal times. All the farmers live in the village and share three large fields on the edge of the village. There are plaques on the walls of the farms with the names of the farm. Each year the fields are divided in to strips allocated to the farms. They all grow the same crops and rotate the crops which helps prevent disease. Each third year the fields would lie ‘fallow’ allowing the land to rest. There is a hill on one side of the village that is the site of the ‘Motte and Bailey’. King John of the Robin Hood fables once visited there. We’re right on the edge of where Sherwood Forest would have been. The village of Laxton were the keepers and foresters of this once hugely important Royal Forest. There is a Norman church and a lovely pub - The Dovecote Inn (book early for groups to avoid disappointment). To get there, turn right out of the gate, up the steep Cocking Hill, past the National Holocaust Centre - the village is 1.5 mile away. So 5 minutes drive or half an hour walk. There are no pathways on the road. It’s not a busy road but if walking, remember to walk facing on coming traffic. On the main road to Laxton there is bridleway you can walk that cuts across fields to reach the village also.
