  1. The Artist Formerly Known as Sycamore Gap

    The most photographed tree in the British Isles. Probably. As seen in the movie "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves".

    The famous tree was illegally felled in September 2023 so this location just won't be the same for another few hundred years.

  2. Portrait of an Oak tree for #ThickTrunkTuesday and #NationalTreeWeek
    This is Wickwar's "Old Electric Oak" (10.55m girth, 800+ years old). It has survived several attempts to destroy it to accommodate overhead high voltage cables - burning in 1938, severe pollarding in 1970s & it was almost felled in 2017. Now protected by fencing to stop its roots being compacted, it will hopefully survive many more years.
