Hidden away in Cranbourne Chase is Offa’s Oak. It’s a strange, gangly old thing.
People who know things about trees say it’s at least 1300 years old, which would make it a sapling during the reign of the Mercian King Offa. But they say it might be as much as 1500 years old. Either estimate makes it the oldest oak in Britain.
