The stump of the famous Sycamore Gap tree, which was felled in a widely condemned act of vandalism in Northumberland in 2023, is showing 'encouraging' new growth, the National Trust says. Shoots sprouting from the base suggest the iconic sycamore may regenerate naturally, raising hopes the much-loved landmark at Hadrian's Wall could eventually be restored rather than replaced.
Why now: The tree's felling caused national outrage, so news of possible regrowth offers a hopeful update on a story many in Britain still follow closely.
