"that most famous tree"
This poignant photograph captures the iconic Sycamore Gap tree at Hadrian's Wall in its full majesty, taken shortly before it was tragically felled in September 2023. Now a piece of history, this image preserves the beloved landmark that captivated visitors for generations.
Standing sentinel in the dramatic dip along Hadrian's Wall, this solitary sycamore became one of England's most photographed trees. The perfectly framed composition showcases the tree's natural grandeur against the rolling Northumberland countryside, with the ancient Roman fortification creating the distinctive gap that gave this location its name.
