The Big Belly Oak is known as the great grandfather of the historic Savernake oaks, estimated to be around 1,100 years old. This would have meant it sprouted from its tiny acorn at around the time William the Conqueror defeated King Harold in 1066.

The Big Belly Oak can be seen at the edge of the A346 between Marlborough and Burbage, but a wander through Savernake Forest is the best way to fully appreciate its impressive age and size.
