The mind-blowingly ancient Ronsac oak on the estate at one of my places of work. This tree is so old that it is mentioned in the Domesday book. The whole of the original trunk has decayed, giving rise to three normal sized oak trunks. You can stand in the middle and feel protected by oak spirits... #ThickTrunkTuesday #AncientTrees #Trees #ExtraordinaryTrees #QuercusRobur #EnglishOak #Oak #Quercus
