Sadly there is now just a tree stump where two idiots cut down the famous Sycamore tree ! The good news is that the tree is sprouting , but that's going to take some time to grow.

The Sycamore Gap tree was an iconic tree that was over 200 years old and located in a dramatic dip along Hadrian's Wall. It was made famous in the film Robin Hood, which featured a scene where Kevin Costner and Morgan Freeman acted out a scene at this exact location. Unfortunately it could not stand up to a malignant, vengeful human with a chainsaw.
