Ent Tree, Staffordshire

A tree with legs! It is thought that this ancient tree - an oak planted during the reign of Henry Vlll - inspired the legendary character Treebeard in JRR Tolkien’s Lord Of The Rings. Tolkien lived nearby at the time and would walk these woods.

The tree is natural and has not been adapted which makes it even more amazing.
