Sherwood Forest

Most are still painted in the popular “Sherwood Green” shade, developed by Bruning Paint Co.

Welcome to Sherwood Forest

Located about 5 miles from downtown Annapolis, Sherwood Forest is a densely wooded community bordered on three sides by the Idle River, the Severn River, and Road Bay. If you venture into “The Forest”, as homeowners refer to it, you will find streets named after the legendary folk figure of Robin Hood. Friar Tuck, Little John, Nottingham, and Maid Marion are among the many nostalgic street names where cottages sit, perched, staggered on hills, overlooking the water.

Many homes, now year-round dwellings, have been renovated and/or restored. Most are still painted in the popular “Sherwood Green” shade, developed by Bruning Paint Co. of Baltimore. Along with brown and white, this was one of the three paint choices in 1915, when this pocket of Annapolis was predominantly used as a summer camp haven.

There is plenty to do if you choose to join the intimate family of explorers who reside in private Sherwood Forest. Members of the community have access to swimming, tennis, sailing, hiking, bowling, and a nine-hole golf course. Generations of families have tended to this retreat with special care, shaping and preserving the history for newcomers. Similar to downtown, there is no need to get in a car and leave “The Forest”, as they offer a convenience store and post office for residents.
