A WOODEN heart which was placed at a beauty spot during the height of the pandemic has disappeared.

A reader noticed the heart at Arnside Knott is no longer in place when they were hiking.

They said: "It isn't there anymore and wondered if anyone knew why?" 

However The National Trust, which owns the land, has no knowledge of its removal with a ranger confirming that they had not removed the wooden heart and that they had not noticed it had gone. 

The wooden heart had been in Arnside Knott since at least January 2021. It was hung on a tree overlooking Morecambe Bay and had 'stay safe, live, laugh, love' written on it. 

It has become a landmark for hikers passing through the National Trust land.
