The Sycamore Gap tree (pictured) in Northumberland, England, was illegally felled. Sycamore Gap tree: The Sycamore Gap tree, also known as the Robin Hood tree, is a 150-year-old sycamore tree next to Hadrian's Wall near Crag Lough in Northumberland, England. It now exists only as a stump, having been illegally felled in 2023. Standing in a dip in the landscape created by glacial meltwater, it was one of the country's most photographed trees and an emblem for the North East of England. Its alternative name is derived from featuring in a scene in the 1991 film Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. The tree won the Woodland Trust 2016 England Tree of the Year award, receiving a £1,000 care grant funded by the People's Postcode Lottery. September 28, 2023. Wiki link
