The iconic Sycamore gap tree is being held at a secret location by the National Trust amid fears ‘trophy hunters’ would attempt to dismember it for keepsakes.
The famous 300-year-old tree, situated by Hadrian’s Hall in Northumberland, was found chopped down in September. Police caught several members of the public trying to take pieces and branches from the much-loved tree after it was felled, leading to concerns about how to protect it, according to reports. The tree was later removed from the site by a crane amid growing fears about ‘souvenir hunters’ and is now being kept at a secret location by the National Trust.
