The Major Oak,estimated to be between 800 -1000 years old.We went for a drive with middle son to see where the wedding is going to be next friday and spent a few hours strolling round the forest poor hubby was absolutely shattered and i wasn't far behind ,we went to a pub for a late lunch/early tea.Glad we didn't go today its pouring down here.

    Wow, I've not seen that Mig. I think it is good they are supporting it and not allowing it to collapse. Thanks for sharing it.

    Is that your OH having a rest? :lol:

    Thanks, mig, for bringing back some happy memories. My younger son has a book on special UK trees and this one is in it. There are some amazing UK trees.

    Enjoy the wedding!
