I've driven past this many times as it's right by a busy mini roundabout, but took a walk from the car park in Penzance yesterday to take some photos. What superb idea, instead of chopping the whole tree down, the carvings are all round the trunk.

    Now that is an Excellent idea, there is to much of "Oh its dead, chop it down". What a great way to preserve it.
    Good catch here Sue.

    Saw it briefly when I was last in Penzance. It is great to be able to look at your photos to see it in so much detail. I agree that it is such a good thing to do with what might have otherwise been an eyesore!

    What an exciting find - did you read Ednid Blyton as a child - the folks of the faraway tree? There was a magic land at the top.........keep checking if this weather keeps up! Christine

    For those visiting Penzance who would like to see the tree - it's right at the top of the town - just across the road from West Cornwall Hospital. Sue
