Ancient oaks are very old, often hundreds of years old, oak trees that play a vital role in the ecosystem. They provide a habitat for numerous plants, birds, insects, and fungi. Their age and size also make them historical and landscape icons, often recognizable by their impressive trunks and broad crowns.

These must be some very old oaks. In any case, very characteristic.
