- Hanging Wood, South Yorkshire
Hanging Wood is also known as Highfields Wood. It is situated between the old Great North Road and the Roman Road, and between the mining villages of Highfields and Woodlands. The Woodlands wildlife park and an ornamental lake, Highfields Lake are features of the wood, as is Woodlands, a former country house, now a social club.
Woodlands is an early 20th century model village, built for the miners at Brodsworth Colliery.
Hanging Wood was part of Barnsdale Forest, where the original Robin Hood ballads are set. There is a Robin Hood's stream which rises near the Roman Road and flows into the river Pick or Pick Burn, which itself flows into Highfields Lake.
