The tree is set to be removed on Thursday.
The world-famous Sycamore Gap tree is set to be removed from Hadrian’s Wall two weeks after it was chopped down.
The stump, which could generate new shoots, will be kept in place and is currently behind a protective barrier.The much-photographed and painted lone sycamore, an emblem for the north east of England, was situated in a dramatic dip in the Northumberland landscape. “It’s clear that this tree captured the imaginations of so many people who visited, and that it held a special – and often poignant – place in many people’s hearts.”Mr Poad said: “It’s currently in a precarious position resting on the wall, so it’s necessary we move it now, both to preserve the world-famous monument that is Hadrian’s Wall, and to make the site safe again for visitors.
