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.

Step off the road and look in the bottom of the shallow depression. Here you will find this mysterious stone. Definitely worth a visit if only to learn about its history and folklore. Also the views from Chute Causeway are superb.

Erected in 1781, the Ailesbury Column is a defining feature of Savernake Forest. The column was built by Thomas Bruce Earl to thank his uncle for leaving him his estates. The singular column is made from limestone, with a bronze urn at its top.
