“Midway during the D-Day celebrations in Normandy, I took a walk around the town and came across a lovely Victorian railway station, and I accidentally boarded a train to a local aerodrome, where I tripped and fell into a helicopter which took me to London.”

A little remind that just 6 inches of fast flowing water is enough to wash you off your feet. And 1 foot of water is enough to move a small car…probs not the best place to stand 😳😬

We are shocked and desperately saddened to learn that the famous Sycamore Gap tree at Hadrian's Wall has been felled overnight, in what appears to be an act of vandalism.
We know just how much this iconic tree is loved locally, nationally and by everyone who has visited.
We are working with our partners to understand what has happened and what can be done.
The incident has also been reported to the police.
ALT Sycamore Gap. A tree grows between two small hills on a summer's day.
