A man arrested in connection with the felling of the iconic Sycamore Gap tree along Hadrian’s Wall in Northumberland will face no further action, Northumbria Police confirmed on Wednesday. The landmark tree, a significant feature in the region’s landscape, was cut down in September in what was described as a “deliberate act of vandalism”.

The man in his 60s, initially arrested on suspicion of criminal damage, has been released from the investigation. Meanwhile, two other men in their 30s remain on bail as inquiries continue. A 16-year-old boy previously arrested and bailed in relation to the incident was also confirmed to have no further action taken against him in November.
