Location
The tree can be found in the woods near Alton Village, close to the entrance of the Alton Towers theme park. From the main entrance gates, head south towards the village, past the staff & service entrance on the left. Next on the right is a tall gate house, alongside the driveway to the eponymous Chained Oak B&B. Don't drive down this driveway, as the road is tight, there's no public parking and turning around in it is difficult. Instead, park in the layby opposite. To the left of the driveway is a gap in the stone wall, through which you'll find a well-worn pathway heading down the hill. The tree itself is about five minutes walk down this pathway, on the right with worn down steps leading up to it.
