Compo 10,328 Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 It's in a narrow gorge that once flooded. the bedstead caught in the tree and the tree carried on growing around it. As for location; you said in Notts south of the Trent so we are maybe taking vale of Belvoir area, around the Leics. border.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,108 Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 I first thought it was a support frame for the Major Oak, but the metalwork looks like a bed headrest. Also, there are car park spaces in the distance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,108 Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 I visited Watersmeet a few years ago and walked either side of the gorge. One can only imagine that raging torrent crashing down. I've also paid many visits to Boscastle where a similar fate befell the village during an August storm. Thankfully there were no casualties that time. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
