Two men are due to be sentenced at Newcastle Crown Court today for the illegal felling of the Sycamore Gap tree. Daniel Graham, 39, and Adam Carruthers, 32, both from Cumbria, chopped down the much-loved landmark, which had stood in a dip by Hadrian's Wall in Northumberland for more than 100 years, in the early hours of 28 September 2023.

Two men have been sentenced to four years and three months each in prison for felling a landmark sycamore tree in northern England.

Daniel Graham and Adam Carruthers were sentenced to more than 4 years in prison for cutting down the iconic Sycamore Gap Tree in a "deliberate and mindless" act.
