Champion Tree

"Majesty" The Fredville Oak, Kent, England

A champion tree (Quercus robur) and subject of Thomas Pakenhams book "Meetings with Remarkable Trees."
Considered a joint champion with the Bowthorpe Oak but this tree is probably the largest standard oak and rightly deserves credit as being the finest oak in the British Isles. Girth 12.06m.
Stands on private property viewed by appointment only.
