Vandalism Confirmed: Sycamore Gap Tree Felling Damages Hadrian's Wall

Experts have confirmed that the deliberate felling of the Sycamore Gap tree in England has caused damage to the 1,900-year-old Hadrian's Wall. The tree, which stood for centuries and was a popular subject for photographers, was cut down in September. A recent archaeological appraisal revealed cracks and fragments on the wall caused by the fallen tree. The findings have been shared with the police, and a repair plan will be developed in collaboration with the National Trust. The age of the felled tree is being determined through scientific analysis, and ideas for the future of the tree are being sought from the public.
