The Hungry Tree

The Hungry Tree

What was once just a simple form of nature has now turned into a rather unorthodox attraction.

Located in the grounds of Ireland’s oldest law school, King’s Inns, the Hungry Tree is an 80-year-old London Plane tree that just keeps growing. So much so that the cast iron bench sitting beneath it has been sucked into the trunk as the bark continues to spread. We’re pretty certain you won’t have seen anything like it before.

So, if only to take a photograph, the Hungry Tree is definitely worth a visit!
