Sycamore Gap – Signs of Life
It is still strange to look out at Sycamore Gap and not see the tree silhouetted against the dusky Northumbrian sky, and we can’t believe that it was a year go this evening that the iconic symbol of Northumberland was felled. It will live on not only in our memories, in the huge number of photographs taken by so many people and the many local businesses (including Layside) that use its image as a logo. It will also live on around the country, as each National Park has now been gifted with a sapling grown from seeds taken after the tree was felled – and I can’t think of a better tribute and legacy.
