Robin Hood's Grave

Kirklees, West Yorkshire

Where the outlaw shot his last arrow and asked to be buried where it fell.

Legend says the dying Robin Hood came to Kirklees Priory to be cured, but the prioress bled him too much, perhaps on purpose. With his last strength he shot an arrow from the window and asked Little John to bury him where it landed.
