Locksley Nook

Locksley Nook is the third bench along the Harthill Walk. This marks the middle of the walk and Locksley's decision to help Gurth actually happens to be in the middle of the book creating a connection between the town's trail and the book's story line.

Within the novel, Robin of Locksley makes an appearance at the tournament at Ashby. The story shows his great archery skills during the tournament at Prince John's request. While this does not seem incredibly important to the story at the time, the reader gets the sense that Locksley will pop up more than once within the story and that, he does.

Robin of Locksley and his men had been the same group of thieves that attacked Gurth on his way back from visiting Issac, the Jew. Locksley also helps Gurth, Wamba, and the Black Knight save the Saxon's from their captives later in the novel.
