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

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the breathtaking beauty of Sycamore Gap, an iconic location along Hadrian's Wall in England. Hadrian's Wall, a remarkable defense wall constructed during the Roman Empire, served as the northern boundary of their empire. Today, a significant portion of this ancient wall still stands and has become one of Northern England's most popular tourist attractions. In this image, nestled between two hills along Hadrian's Wall, stands a solitary sycamore tree. The perfect symmetry portrayed in this photograph was famously featured in the opening scene of Kevin Costner's film "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves" forever cementing Sycamore Gap as one of Britain's most beloved trees. The tree itself is a majestic sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus), often referred to as The Robin Hood Tree due to its association with the legendary outlaw. This stunning image showcases not only the tranquility and serenity that surrounds it but also highlights its historical significance within English heritage. With its inclusion on UNESCO World Heritage list in 1987, this ancient site continues to captivate visitors from around the world. As you gaze upon this print by Frans Sellies from Fine Art Storehouse, you can't help but feel transported back in time to when empires rose and fell against these fortified walls.
