Sycamore tree in Northumberland, England
The Sycamore Gap tree, also known as the Robin Hood tree, is a 150-year-old sycamore tree next to Hadrian's Wall near Crag Lough in Northumberland, England. It now exists only as a stump, having been illegally felled in 2023. Standing in a 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. Its alternative name is derived from featuring in a scene in the 1991 film Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.
