Wood Heart

What is the story behind the Heart Shaped Wood near Tebay, that can be seen from the M6?
If you are heading north up the M6 in Cumbria, just before Tebay, near the Howgills, is a heart shaped wood on the right-hand side of the valley. Did it naturally take that shape, or was it planted like that for a reason, if so, does anyone know why?

Lolly is your real name Dawn Robinson?
A lot of people think that it stems from lovers who commited suicide. Some people also think that it represents the middle of mainland Britain. However, if you listen to an article on the BBC website, a woman on there states that she went to Kendal archive library and found out that the heart shaped wood isn't actually heart shaped at all, it just looks like it is from the M6, and that is was originally a forest plantation set up in the mid 1800's, and that is all that is left of the original plantation.
That said, I am sure many people see it as something romantic, and why not?
