Which is the largest forest in England?
The scale of Kielder Forest is enough to take your breath away! At 250 square miles it is England’s largest forest.
But Kielder is not just about trees. At any one time, a quarter of the area of Kielder is open space, including England’s largest area of blanket bog. Kielder is also England’s most important red squirrel reserve, home to the biggest remaining population of red squirrels in the country.
A visit to Kielder will uncover many surprises such as the Minotaur Maze and Skyspace, one of England's largest mountain bike trail network and home to Northumberland's only breeding osprey population.

Sherwood forest is very small, was disappointed seeing it after all the robin hood movies.

I guessed Sherwood because it's the only one I've heard of. I'm not even sure if it is real. Boy, this American needs to get out more...
Chris Braid
Not jusy the largest in England, but the second-largest in the UK, I think.

My home county, Northumberland. I was born there and loved that forest. We have wonderful forests in New Zealand although very different.

Glad you specifically stated England
Joseph A. Robitaille
if I was doing this question I would of used Great Britain, instead of England. Nothing wrong , a great question.

Sherwood seemed too improbable

A clever trivia question .. the largest forest in the U.K. is in Scotland, so you might trick a few who get these confused and fail to read England in the question ... well done.
