The Lone Tree on the Ridge

I was very sad to see that the iconic lone Tree on Greensand Ridge has all but been destroyed by some careless ditching work. The tree which was plainly visible from Cardington Village has for as long as I can remember, stood as a beautiful ragged beacon well loved by many of the locals. Below you will see some of my favourite images of the tree taken over the last 20 odd years. I hope what is left of the tree survives in some form or another. Hover over the pictures for titles etc:
