The Bowthorpe Oak near Bourne, Lincolnshire
The legendary Bowthorpe Oak is the largest girthed living British oak and its circumference measures 42 feet. Apart from its great size, it has a rugged bole, gnarled and crooked branches and a great spread of crown and is reputed to be well over 1,000 years old and was therefore growing during the time of William the Conqueror (1066-1087) but chains now bind it to prevent it from splitting under the weight of its heavy boughs.
