Hadrian’s Wall Experience & Artwork: E-Bike Tour for x4 people with a Northumberland National Park Ranger & Sycamore Gap framed artwork by Lucy Pittaway
Donated by: The Northumberland National Park Authority & Lucy Pittaway
The Country Trust is delighted to present this delightful lot celebrating one of the UK’s most iconic landmarks.
You and your x3 guests, over 16 years of age, are invited to join a Northumberland National Park Ranger to accompany you on a guided E-Bike tour, covering the 6-mile central section of Hadrian’s Wall.
Your guide will provide expert insights into the landscape, history, culture and the work of the National Park to preserve this incredible place. E-bikes, if required, will be provided, and the route is not too arduous.
Hadrian’s Wall is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a tour of this central section is the perfect gateway for people of all ages to explore and enjoy the landscapes, history and rich culture of dramatic, rural Northumberland and to learn more whilst keeping fit!
As a special memento, this lot also includes a stunning artwork, which is inspired by the loss of the iconic Sycamore Gap tree, felled in September 2023.
The tree was one of the most famous and photographed trees in England, which stood in a dramatic dip in the landscape, created by glacial meltwater, next to Hadrian’s Wall in the Northumberland National Park. In late 2016, it was awarded the English Tree of The Year in the Woodland Trust’s national awards.
The mindless felling of the tree last year, which was nearly 200 years old and an emblem for the North East of England, led to an outpouring of anger and sadness.
The signed framed print is created on Fine Art Paper and is part of Lucy Pittaway’s Sycamore Gap collection.
My aim with this piece was to capture the timeless beauty of the Sycamore Gap Tree, nestled beside Hadrian’s Wall. I wanted to immortalise this beautiful tree in all its glory, beneath starry skies and Northern Lights. Lucy Pittaway
