Our Ancient Oaks’ Starring Role in Attenborough’s Wild Isles
A thousand-year-old oak on our Estate has a starring role in David Attenborough’s landmark BBC series ‘Wild Isles’.
The tree, which has a nine-metre circumference, is estimated to be 1,045 years old and was already nearly a centenarian at the time of the Norman Conquest. In the new documentary series, the mighty tree, alongside our other ancient oaks, is used to illustrate the extraordinary biodiversity trees support.
