Thorn Wood

Thorn Wood is a 16.8ha (41.5 acre) woodland creation site located in Cheshire on the south side of the Northwich Road between the villages of Weaverham and Hartford. The whole site is a Community Woodland with compartment 2 (8ha) planted as part of the Woodland Trusts Millennium project "Woods on Your Doorstep" (WOYD). The land was purchased in March 1998 with the help of The Mersey Forest, The Countryside Agency, the Forestry Commission, the Millennium Commission, the County / District and two Local Parish Councils, the Sainsbury Family Charitable Trust and numerous local business and private donations.
