Cinema Plantation is a picturesque woodland located in Northumberland, England. Situated in the heart of the county, it spans over a vast area and is known for its lush greenery and serene atmosphere. The plantation derives its name from the historic connection it once had with the local cinema industry.

Covered with a diverse range of trees, including oak, beech, and ash, Cinema Plantation offers a stunning display of colors throughout the year. The woodland is carefully managed to maintain its natural beauty, with walking trails meandering through the trees, providing visitors with the opportunity to explore and appreciate the surroundings. The plantation is also home to a rich variety of wildlife, making it a popular destination for nature lovers and birdwatchers.

Today, Cinema Plantation is managed by the local authorities, who strive to preserve its natural habitat while offering recreational opportunities to visitors.

Pond Plantation, Thirlings Cropmarks of six rectangular buildings were discovered by aerial photography at Thirlings. Excavations between 1973 and 1981 found they were built of timber and were similar to others found in the area that dated to the sixth or seventh centuries. Finds including an Anglo-Saxon knife and pottery suggest that this was a small Anglo-Saxon settlement although Neolithic pottery was also found.
