Carshalton Park - Chestnut Tree

Over 10m (32ft) in circumference and more than 20m (65ft) high, making it one of the largest in the UK. One of the ancient Chestnut trees in Carshalton Park, planted early in the seventeenth century to provide fodder for livestock. The 'Hobbit' door on the right hand side was added to prevent the numerous arson attacks that have been attempted in the hollow centre.
