I know it?s over the border so some may whine at this. But it looks like the old lass is on her way out.
Visited numerous times over the years on school trips and family outings, both as a child and parent, to walk in the woodlands and see the magnificent tree.
Sadly looking at pics this year compared with recent years it?s on its last legs, experts have said the root system is dead and it won?t last the winter before it will have to be cut down.

It?s been propped for years.

Funny how as an adult it doesn?t look as ?major? as it did as a kid.

Sad day when it comes down.

Hopefully they can get cuttings from it, similar to the sycamore gap tree,and it can live on in a different guise
all we are saying, is give us ...a goal, or 2+
