Devastating news that the Iconic Tree in the gap at Hadrians Wall was vandalised last night.
Last week Pete took to the BBC to show the impact the warm summer months took on the Islands of Derwent water.
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.
What a great final experience on Derwent Water with Keswick Canoe and Bushcraft. Hard work but worth every minute and no- one fell in! #derwentwater#keswick
