Welcome to Old Tree

Old Tree Kent is a historic landmark located in the heart of Kent, England. The tree is believed to be over 900 years old and is one of the oldest trees in the country. It is a symbol of the town's rich history and has become a popular tourist attraction over the years. The tree is surrounded by a fence to protect it from damage and visitors are encouraged to respect its age and significance.

The Old Tree Kent has a unique shape and size, with a trunk that measures over 10 meters in circumference. It is a rare example of a pollarded tree, which means that its branches have been cut back regularly to encourage new growth. This technique was commonly used in medieval times to produce timber for building and fuel. The tree has survived many storms and natural disasters over the centuries and has become a symbol of resilience and strength.

The Old Tree Kent has been the subject of many legends and stories over the years. It is said to have been a meeting place for local villagers and a site for public executions in the past. The tree has also been associated with witchcraft and magic, with some people believing that it has healing powers. Despite its age and significance, the Old Tree Kent continues to thrive and attract visitors from all over the world.
