Sycamore Gap nominated for England's Tree of the Year

An iconic landmark along Hadrian's Wall has been nominated for England's Tree of the Year.

Sycamore Gap, or the 'Robin Hood' tree as it's known by locals after starring in 1991's Robin Hood Prince of Thieves with Kevin Costner, has grown on a stretch of Hadrian's Wall in Northumberland.

The Wall surrounding the gap shows it was repaired with lime mortar thousands of years ago, with the construction dated back to the late 2nd century.

10 trees were chosen in England, seven in Wales and six in both Scotland and Northern Ireland.

A public vote will decide the winner, which will then compete against trees from across the Continent for the title of European Tree of the Year.

The online voting ends on 9 October.
