Great walking or cycling. Amazing walk through Tall Trees Hike and parking great, even for motorhome, alas not for overnight! In Oct deer very active for sighting and hearing. For drivers the 40mph zone is an incredible route through the New Forest.

Easy to find. A short walk from the car park which is wheelchair friendly. A few benches so you can enjoy the quiet of the wooded area. No rubbish bins so that you clean up and don't leave stuff to encourage the wildlife. No toilets here or close by, so be sure to use them when you see them. The tree wasn't that impressive until you realize that branches were cut for ship building and to allow the tree to spread out. Very tranquil and relaxing place to visit and definitely not busy during the week.

It's a fairly big tree, I've seen bigger but it's not always about size. This one's still living I believe and its fascinating to think that its stood there for 500+ years. The drive through the new Forrest to get to it is amazing.

This is 500 years old oak. There is a picnic area next to it and information boards.

Lovely walk in the forest. Got to see the 500yr old Oak. Plenty of Funghi to see here too.

Always nice to see a five hundred year old oak, but someone please remove the ivy. There is plenty enough around as to offer habitat.
Would be nice to see her naked 🤭

Beautiful tree and to think of all the things its seen and heard pass by over 600 years. Now it saw me get engaged to my beautiful Fiancée. I would highly recommend this tree.
