We are shocked and desperately saddened to learn that the famous Sycamore Gap tree at Hadrian's Wall has been felled overnight, in what appears to be an act of vandalism.
We know just how much this iconic tree is loved locally, nationally and by everyone who has visited.
We are working with our partners to understand what has happened and what can be done.
The incident has also been reported to the police.
ALT Sycamore Gap. A tree grows between two small hills on a summer's day.

Repeat c-sections and back-to-back breeding. This is what #GreedBreeders do to dogs.
Great work by @RSPCA_official and @BucksCouncil, bringing them to justice. š
