Its destruction triggered outcry and sadness across the nation – but now, over a year on from the felling of the Sycamore Gap, the National Trust has revealed where the tree’s saplings will spring up across the UK.

Custodians of the much-photographed and visited sycamore say they hope the venture, which was announced exactly a year after the tree was chopped down, will create a new chapter of hope in its legacy.
