Sycamore gap, iconic place along Hadrians wall, England
Hadrians Wall or Vallum Hadriani in Latin, was a defense wall in the Roman province of Britannia. The construction began in 122 AD under the reign of the emperor Hadrian. It was the northern limit of the Roman Empire.
A significant portion of the wall still stands. It is the most popular tourist attraction in Northern England and it was added to the UNESCO World Heritage list in 1987.
In a gap between two hills, along Hadrianas Wall, stands a solitary tree. The symmetry of the image was used in the opening scene of Kevin Costneras film Robin Hood Prince of Thieves. Ever since, Sycamore Gap has been one of Britainas most iconic trees.
The tree is a sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus), but sometimes also known as The Robin Hood tree
