Listen "A Gap, A Tree, A Legacy"
Episode Synopsis
In this special episode of Sleepy Seedlings, we travel to the windswept hills of Northumberland, where a solitary sycamore once stood in a dip along Hadrian’s Wall. Known as the Sycamore Gap Tree, it became one of the most photographed in the world — a place of stillness, of memory, and quiet meaning. And then, one morning, it was gone. What follows is a gentle reflection on grief, legacy, and the deep bond between people and trees. We explore how a single tree came to hold so much love, how its loss stirred something far beyond headlines, and how — in seeds, saplings, and silence — it continues to grow. Hosted on Acast.
