You're standing at Sycamore Gap, a dip in the landscape right beside Hadrian's Wall in Northumberland. Look left and right. On both sides, the cliff and the Roman wall rise steeply out of the hollow. This gap was carved long ago by meltwater from glaciers. And right here, at the bottom, a sycamore about fifteen metres tall stood until 2023. It was one of the most photographed trees in the country.
