Sycamore Gap tree
Photogenic tree in Northumberland, England
The Sycamore Gap tree or Robin Hood tree is a 150-year-old sycamore tree next to Hadrian's Wall near Crag Lough in Northumberland, England. It was cut down 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.
