Sycamore Gap tree collapse caused damage to Hadrian's Wall, analysis reveals

The vandalism that brought down the famous Sycamore Gap tree in northern England also caused damage to Hadrian's Wall, with cracks and fragments broken off from two of the facing stones. Historic England will collaborate with the National Trust to develop a plan for repairs, while Northumbria Police, investigating the deliberate act of vandalism, has made four arrests so far. The tree, which was around 200 years old, grew along Hadrian's Wall and was a beloved icon featured in films and postcards. Efforts will be made to protect the remaining tree stump and potentially encourage regrowth.
