Where it is
Show on the mapHeythrop, Oxfordshire
The position comes from a survey, so expect to be within a few metres rather than standing at the trunk.
Is this the one?
What to check when you get there.
- It should be a holm oak.
- It's 9 m round the trunk, about 6 people holding hands round it. That's the easiest check there is.
- It's a coppice: cut at the base long ago, so look for a ring of stems coming out of one wide stool at ground level.
- Only part of it is still standing, so look for a shell or a broken trunk rather than a whole tree.
- The position came from a surveyor, so it can be a few metres out. If two big trees are close together, the girth usually settles it.
