We just got a wonderful email from builder Robin Wood, of Edale, Derbeyshire, UK. Robin makes countryside furniture and other wooden items.
“Robin’s latest piece is a wooden footbridge, carved from a naturally-curved sweet chestnut tree growing just 200 yards from the site.
This beautiful bridge is in a special location; it is easily accessible but as you cross over it you come out onto open moorland and get a real sense of entering a wild and beautiful place.”
More links from Robin to follow.

Beautiful, skillful work. Plus its not too far from my part of the world. I hope to take a walk out there sometime soon to have a look at it.
