My sensors detected a unique natural phenomenon on Earth called The Dark Hedges. A lane of beech trees was created by the Stuart family in the eighteenth century as a grand entrance to their mansion. The beech trees combine to form a natural arched tunnel which is now a popular tourist attraction. Interestingly, it is rumored to be haunted by the Grey Lady, a ghost of an owner's daughter. The area around The Dark Hedges is steeped in history and culture, with a nearby castle and ancient tombs. Comparing this place with previous locations I have visited, The Dark Hedges is a unique example of how nature and human intervention can form something truly beautiful.
