It is always good to get feedback from our customers:
"We had such a poignant return visit to the tree since it was felled, still such a beautiful and magical place and the day ended with a very special gift from my husband. A piece of your sycamore jewellery I will treasure it always and thank you for making such simple but meaningful pieces of art. xxx"

Even now, I can’t understand why anyone would’ve even contemplated committing such a crime. In an ideal world they’d be forced to spend five years planting trees for the forestry commission when their prison sentence is complete.

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.
