Thrunton Wood is an area of woodland and open moor in Northumberland. It is popular with walkers, mountain bikers and horse riders, and home to two waymarked walking trails.[1][2] There is an Iron Age fort on Castle Hill, and Thrunton Wood is home to several caves, including Macartney's Cave, once home to a local monk, and Thomas Wedderburn's Hole, where a local highwayman reputedly once hid from the law.<ref>Scaife, Chris: The Caves of Northumberland, Sigma Leisure, 2019</ref
Recently, most trees in the forest have been cut down. The deforestation happened in lockdown, and most trees can't be seen until the river.
