Famous and almost 300 years old Sycamore Gap tree, also known as Robin Hood tree, has been cut down by evil souls two nights ago. This is horrible. Human beings are indeed the biggest enemy to this beautiful planet. I have no more words😞

“Will never be the same again”

Britain's most famous tree that has stood in a dip along Hadrian's Wall in Northumberland for 300 years was mysteriously chopped down on Wednesday night with a chainsaw a senseless act of vandalism.

The tree 🌳 was a sycamore tree found in Northumberland National Park, situated on the ancient Roman structure of Hadrian’s Wall.

This desperately saddened to learn that the famous Sycamore Gap tree at Hadrian's Wall has been felled overnight, what appears to be an act of vandalism is an iconic tree that is loved locally, nationally and by everyone who has visited.

It is believed a chainsaw was used to fell the popular tree 🌳

This is one of Britain's most famous trees 🌳 felled in 'Act of Vandalism’. This is deplorable. This situation is a seriously ongoing commitment to finding those responsible and bringing them to justice.

It was looked after by both the Northumberland Park Authority and the National Trust.

It appeared in the 1991 movie Robin Hood Prince of Thieves.

It was originally part of a cluster of trees, but over time these were removed, leaving it to stand alone as a 118ft tall monument in Northumberland landscape. The sycamore became known as the Robin Hood Tree after it was featured in a famous scene in Kevin Costner's 1991 blockbuster Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.

#canitellyou I hit the wall…Hadrian’s Wall. Yes, all 8 miles of it in very schizophrenic weather. Rainy, windy, sunny and cloudy on repeat. Apparently, very normal for Northumberland. / 😅🥾⛰ . . . #ihitthewall #hadrianswallpath #northumberlandnationalpark #rafetotengco #rafetravelstothenorthofengland #housesteadsromanfort #vindolandaromanfort #sycamoregaptree (at Hadrian's Wall, Northumberland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUVSQjnIP29/?utm_medium=tumblr
