Where it is
Show on the mapTillington, Chichester
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 pedunculate 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 maiden: one trunk, never cut back, so look for a single tall stem.
- The record says this tree has been lost. There may be nothing left to see, or only a stump.
- 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.
