The
Sycamore Gap tree or
Robin Hood tree was a 150-year-old sycamore tree next to Hadrian's Wall near Crag Lough in Northumberland, England. It was illegally felled in 2023, but has since sprouted from the stump. Standing in a dramatic 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. It derived its alternative name from featuring in a prominent scene in the 1991 film
Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. The tree won the 2016 England Tree of the Year award, part of the Woodland Trustโs annual competition that celebrates culturally and environmentally significant trees across the UK. As the national winner for England, the Sycamore Gap tree received a ยฃ1,000 care grant funded by the People's Postcode Lottery.
