History

Greyfield wood was once part of the Earl of Warwick's hunting estate.[1]

Part of the wood was once Greyfield Colliery, which was the biggest single industry in the area in the middle of the 18th Century.[2] The colliery closed in 1911.[3]

Greyfield Wood, and the waterfall at Stephen's Vale Nature Reserve, were used as locations for filming the British television series Robin of Sherwood.[4]
