The Sycamore Gap tree, located in a natural dip in the landscape alongside Hadrian’s Wall in Northern England, is believed to have been chopped down in what authorities are calling an “act of vandalism.”
A famous tree that has stood sentinel on Britain’s Roman-built Hadrian’s Wall for more than 200 years has been “deliberately felled” in what authorities have called an “act of vandalism.” The sycamore tree, located in the Northumberland National Park in northern England, was made famous to millions around the world when it appeared in Kevin Costner’s 1991 blockbuster film “Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves.
Andrew Poad, north east general manager at the National Trust, said: “The tree has been an important and iconic feature in the landscape for nearly 200 years and means a lot to the local community and to anyone who has visited the site.” Northumberland National Park Authority said it was now “working with the relevant agencies and partners with an interest in this iconic North East landmark.” The National Park urged visitors to stay away while the site was being made safe.
