An original hand-printed linocut of the Sycamore Gap Tree in Northumberland, inspired by one of Britain’s most iconic and beloved landmarks. The print is available hand-printed in green or slate blue. 
 
Inspiration
The Sycamore Gap Tree, which stood beside Hadrian’s Wall in Northumberland, was one of the most photographed trees in the UK before it was tragically felled in 2023. Nestled in a dramatic, U-shaped dip in the landscape, it became a symbol of the natural beauty and heritage of northern England.
 
This print is based on a photograph I took during a visit to the site, just a few months before the tree was lost.

Each Sycamore Gap print is individually hand-printed in my York studio on soft white paper using oil-based ink, making every print unique.

How to Take Care of Your Original Print
This original print is created using professional, high-quality oil-based inks, along with acid-free paper and mounts. While the inks have excellent lightfastness, I recommend hanging your print out of direct sunlight. Read more on my FAQs page.
