Arden, Warwickshire
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arden is a district in Warwickshire, England, traditionally regarded as stretching from the River Avon to the River Tame[1]. The area was formerly heavily wooded and known as the Forest of Arden.
This forest is thought by some to be the setting for Shakespeare's As You Like It. However, the play is set in France, and so should not be thought of as taking place in a real forest in Arden. (According to the Oxford Shakespeare, Shakespeare's "Forest of Arden" is likely an anglicization of the French Ardennes forest.)
