    The Sill National Landscape Discovery Centre is a modern visitor center. It is designed to inspire and connect people of all ages with the landscape, heritage, and nature of Northern England.
    It features interactive exhibitions on nature, climate, and culture, a panoramic roof terrace with views of the landscape, a café with local products, and a shop featuring regional crafts.
    Since July 2025, it has also been home to an impressive art installation around the iconic Sycamore Gap tree, which was felled in 2023. The remaining trunk now serves as a memorial and meeting place.
