Sycamore Gap

Sycamore Gap, situated along the ancient Hadrian's Wall in Northumberland, is one of the most iconic and photographed locations in the United Kingdom. This striking spot is marked by a solitary sycamore tree nestled in a dramatic dip between two steep hills. The tree's silhouette against the backdrop of the rugged Northumberland landscape, especially at sunrise or sunset, creates a scene of breathtaking beauty. The location gained further fame as the “Robin Hood Tree” after its appearance in the film "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves." A visit to Sycamore Gap offers not only a glimpse into natural splendor but also a connection to the rich historical tapestry of the area.
