Hundy Mundy Wood lies on the ridge of a hill between Mellerstain House and the Cheviots. The folly tower is built on an axis of symmetry that runs through the centre of Mellerstain and it's formal gardens stretching out towards the horizon to the south. The tower was built to focus the eye in the middle distance.
These days, Hundy Mundy Wood has been made available as a natural burial ground for those looking for something different from the cemetery of crematorium.
