Wyndham's Oak

Highlight • Natural

A little hidden away in the meadow behind Silton's St Nicholas' church, Wyndham's Oak will have your jaw on the floor. Thought to be perhaps 1,000 years old, this is one of the ancient oaks that sit on the edge of the medieval hunting ground of Gillingham Forest.

As you'd expect for something of this age, it goes by several names; Judge's Tree and Silton Oak are two of its others. Its extraordinary trunk circumference stands at 38 feet (12 m) but it was most certainly larger in its younger days.

Marked on maps, this aged oak has to be seen to be believed.
