The Sycamore Gap tree, which once stood in a dip next to Hadrian's Wall in Northumberland, has been chopped down. What was the Sycamore Gap tree? Quite simply it was a single sycamore tree growing in a natural dip in the countryside along Hadrian's Wall, close to the village of Once Brewed.
Walking along Hadrian’s Wall Alice Whysall could not help but be overawed by the majesty of the tree that greeted her at Sycamore Gap on the evening of September 27, as she completed a four-day hike.
