Comment on Boy, 16, arrested over felling of iconic ‘Robin Hood tree’ next to Hadrian’s Wall
tal@kbin.social 8 months agoI think it’s called the Robin Hood Tree because it was in a Robin Hood film.
Yeah, but the movie was presumably filmed there because they were looking for something that didn't have houses or whatnot in view, looked like it did during the time of Richard Lionheart.

Or just because it was a striking visual.

I mean, that's probably part of it too, but I also feel like they wouldn't have filmed the scene at Canary Wharf.
Honestly, given that Robin Hood's home was Sherwood Forest, Sycamore Gap is about...checks Google Maps about 172 miles by (modern day) road out of the way, too.
