Douglas

Douglas is carved from a 140-year-old fallen pine within in the grounds of the Cragside Estate. The artwork was created by Tommy Craggs from Durham.

The latest edition of the National Trust Magazine provides a brief news snippet:

Tree carvings can be seen in places ranging from inner-city Victorian parks to the great landscapes of the National Trust.  We would like your help to track them down.  Please send pictures and comments to us as part of a project that includes members of the National Trust, the Woodland Trust, the Arboricultural Association and the Ancient Tree forum.

In a previous post I blogged about an owl sculpture within the formal gardens at Cragside.

      I thought you had worked out a way to circumnavigate the Wordpress monitor that tries to deny one word comments…
