Ye Ancient Oake

Just Think..., this tree was growing when Henry The VIII was on the throne. Before William Shakespeare was born. Before Potatoes came to Britain. 500 years of survival.

A fabulous outing.

Something I just found out.

Britain has more ancient Oaks than the rest of Europe combined. There are more than 200,000 Oaks over 300 hundred years old.
