Dist:0.4km<br/>Also called "Great Oak", this huge tree has a girth at chest height of 9m 17cm, indicating it is about 900 years old. Like all very old oaks, it is becoming 'stag-headed' and has a hollow trunk (which a small person can climb inside, see [[1232115]]). A forest in this area was recorded in the Domesday Book (1086), and this may be its last surviving tree. The oak itself was a landmark on maps dated 1650.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Ancient oaks are usually hollow, and a small person can easily climb inside this one. The hollow interior is not man-made, it is actually caused by fungi, the most invasive of which is called the "poor man's Beefsteak" (Fistulina hepatica) whose fruiting bodies are sometimes seen growing on the bark of the tree during the Autumn.
