The famous tree, next to Hadrian's Wall, has been 'deliberately felled'
One of the UK's most photographed trees has come down overnight after being "deliberately felled", the Northumberland National Park Authority has said.
On Thursday morning the national park authority said: " can confirm that sadly, the famous tree at Sycamore Gap has come down over night. We have reason to believe it has been deliberately felled. We are working with the relevant agencies and partners with an interest in this iconic North East landmark and will issue more details once they are known.
A spokesperson added: "Sycamore Gap was voted English Tree of the Year in 2016 in the Woodland Trust's awards and is much-loved by people from across the world." The Sycamore Gap tree is probably the most photographed in the country and stands in a dramatic dip in Hadrian's Wall.
