The former child actor who introduced film fans to the 300-year-old Sycamore Gap Tree in Robin Hood Prince of Thieves has spoken of his sadness that it's been chopped down in a wanton act of vandalism.

Daniel Newman was 15 when he played Wulf in Kevin Costner blockbuster, who sought refuge in the tree's boughs after being chased by the Sheriff of Nottingham's deerhounds.

It was the first glimpse of the tree in the 1991 classic and was the catalyst for it becoming a major tourist attraction for visitors who had previously come to see Hadrian's Wall.

Newman, now 47, runs a personal training company in Wimbledon and has left acting behind, but had fond memories of shooting in Northumberland.
