Our Amble in October 24 to Panshangar Park

We are standing in front of the Great Panshangar Oak tree that is the oldest ‘maiden’ stem tree in the country.

The tree is estimated to be around 500 years old and may have been planted by Queen Elizabeth I. Winston Churchill also visited and planted one of the acorns from the tree in the surrounding park. The tree stands is 65 feet tall and has a circumference of 26 feet.
