    Sycamore Gap tree exhibition opens to mark a year since its felling
    Section of trunk on display along with images sent in by public of the tree when it was still standing.

    The largest remaining section of the felled Sycamore Gap tree has gone on public display in Northumberland as if it were an Old Master painting. Unlike an Old Master though, visitors will be allowed to touch it and there is a real thrill and energy to being able to do that.

    Artist Charlie Whinney gives a talk to schoolchildren at the exhibitionÕs preview day. 27/9 2024.

  • Sycamore Gap tree removed from Hadrian's Wall to be seasoned and reused

    Sycamore Gap tree removed from Hadrian's Wall to be seasoned and reused
    As National Trust draws line under criminal act, members of public suggest future uses for timber.

    Some saw the day as a chance to say farewell. One person described the event as a "full stop" to the saga. But as the criminally felled, world-famous Sycamore Gap tree was carefully removed from its home on Hadrian's Wall, people also spoke of hope, optimism and rebirth.

    A crane from Manchester arrived on Thursday morning for the challenging job of removing the tree.

    Throughout Thursday, a team worked with chainsaws to cut the tree into manageable sections that could be transported to a truck.

    The Sycamore Gap tree was regarded by many as an integral part of north-east England. Its felling two weeks ago prompted an outpouring of distress, mixed with fury at the pointlessness of the vandalism.

    A crane hoists cut sections of tree over Hadrian's Wall as the National Trust begin the process of removing the felled Sycamore Gap tree begins the first stage of removal from Hadrian's Wall at Sycamore Gap in Northumberland. It is to be removed and moved to a secret location.

    A 16-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of criminal damage on Thursday in connection with the incident and has since been released on bail.

    Sycamore Gap: man, 60, arrested in connection with felled tree
    The tree, next to Hadrian's Wall, was cut down overnight between Wednesday and Thursday in what detectives have called a "deliberate act of vandalism".

    It was made famous in a key scene in Kevin Costner's 1991 film Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves and was among the UKÕs most photographed trees.

    A 16-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of criminal damage on Thursday in connection with the incident and has since been released on bail.

    Northumbria police said the man in his 60s was arrested on Friday evening and he remains in police custody assisting officers with inquiries.

    As National Trust draws line under criminal act, members of public suggest future uses for timber.

    Some saw the day as a chance to say farewell. One person described the event as a "full stop" to the saga. But as the criminally felled, world-famous Sycamore Gap tree was carefully removed from its home on Hadrian's Wall, people also spoke of hope, optimism and rebirth.

    A crane from Manchester arrived on Thursday morning for the challenging job of removing the tree.

    Throughout Thursday, a team worked with chainsaws to cut the tree into manageable sections that could be transported to a truck.

    The Sycamore Gap tree was regarded by many as an integral part of north-east England. Its felling two weeks ago prompted an outpouring of distress, mixed with fury at the pointlessness of the vandalism.

    Memorial stones to loved ones left at the base of the tree removed by the National trust for safe keeping.
