The Ancient Oak Tree, Caton

The Ancient Oak at Caton was a gnarled old oak tree, sometimes called the Druid's Oak, believed to be thousands of years old. The oak now only has one branch which is supported by a metal frame. It grows next to the medieval Fish Stones on the Main Road. Sadly the ancient oak died later in 2016. An acorn had previously been planted in the hollow trunk of the ancient tree.
