We're staying at an Air B&B in Cumbria, very close to H's W and were planning to see the tree tomorrow. What a senseless act of vandalismangry.

My Facebook news feed was full of it this morning. That is where I first learnt about it. It brought me to the verge of tears. Why oh why would anyone think it fun to fell such a much loved tree.

There needs to be a reward that leads to finding the people who did this. I don’t usually give to crowdfunding but I’d give to that. And then something needs to be put in its place. I’m angry beyond belief.

I’m incensed about this, I just can’t believe it. Such an iconic tree of magnificent character. Extremely iconic especially here in the north east.

Why on earth would anyone do this? 😕

During the night some idiot has seen fit to fell one of the most iconic trees in Britain. The beautiful sycamore on Hadrians wall was featured in Robin Hood Prince of Thieves.
Why would anyone do such a thing, it's just wanton destruction.
I live close by and am so sad.
