English oak, also known as common or pedunculate oak, is one of Britain's most iconic trees. Its flowers are long, hanging catkins. It is the second most common tree species in the UK. Its leaves are around 10cm in length.

Abbots Well was formerly known as Alleynewell within the ancient boundaries of the New Forest when defined during the reign of King Edward I (1272-1307). This perpetual spring was, for centuries, the main watering place for travellers on the old road to Southampton. Theoretically the chamber on the left is for forest fauna and under the wooden flap on the right water intended for human consumption. I’m not sure I’d drink from it though - make your own mind up!!!

The Upper Gardens is a place of serenity and an absolute must-see if in Bournemouth. The gardens have a 'three continent theme' feauturing garden displays from Europe, Asia, and North America. The park boasts some unusual tree species including North American Giant Redwood (believed to be the largest in the country) and a group of mature Persian Ironwood trees.

The original tree is no longer there so look out for a fence around a more recently planted oak tree - we missed it at first!
