Robin Hood is shunning Sherwood Forest again.  First Ridley Scott’s Nottingham won’t be filmed in Robin’s Traditional home, now it seems that the fourth season of BBC’s Robin Hood  will be filmed at Hewan Wood, near Roslin, Midlothian according to The Sunday Mail.

The first three series, staring Jonas Armstrong as Robin, have been filmed in Hungary.  The current economic climate means that The BBC are “feeling the pinch” and plan to cut-back on overseas filming.

The Sunday Mail quotes “A BBC Insider” as saying:

“Location scouts have been to Hewan Wood and it will make an ideal Sherwood Forest.

“One of the attractions is that it has an ancient fortress in the heart of the wood and it is near Roslin Chapel, which may be used in a storyline.”

I think that it’s a shame that Sherwood Forest no longer makes “an ideal Sherwood Forest”
