WallBuilder   10 #25 Posted September 8, 2011 I probably did know the answer to this but old age has helped me forget it. Why is there a cave on Stanage edge called Robin Hoods cave? I've been in it many times and always liked sitting on the little natural balcony bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Robin Hood's well (quite a lot of them), Robin Hood's stride and Robin Hood's stoop........... and Robin Hood's crack. Yes, I know!!

Probably just some big local but claimed as such for tourism purposes. I read somewhere that the grave, head to foot, is a measurement - multiples thereof - used extensively when planning church buildings.
