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.
