Welcome to Thynghowe!
Why is Thynghowe so special?
Thynghowe
is a Viking age assembly site in Birklands on the western edge of
Sherwood Forest.
Within the woodlands surrounding Thynghowe there are features telling
the stories of King Edwin of Northumbria, the royal hunting Forest, the
estates of dukes and the lives of the people of this area over a period
from the 7th century to World War II.
