REVEALED: Greatest collection of ancient oak trees in Europe - and they're HERE in Britain
THE greatest collection of ancient oak trees anywhere in Europe has been discovered in Britain after research uncovered them in a Medieval deer park.
At least 60 Middle Age oaks have been unearthed in a survey of the grounds of Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire, with four of them measuring almost 30 feet in diameter.
The huge width dates them to the Medieval period - between 960 and 1196AD.
