Hiking

The ancient Shotover Oak (Quercus robur) fell on 13th of July 2015 after a severe drought, having survived much turmoil including the decimation of the Royal Forest by both Royalist and parliamentary armies in the siege of Oxford 1644-46. The new shoots on the base of its trunk are guarded from rabbits and deer by a chestnut palling fence. Hopefully this ancient oak will rise again in time.
