College Oak
By the lake, College Oak resides. The Oak tree was planted around 948AD, which makes it around 1062 years old and not only one of the oldest trees in the UK but one of the oldest in Europe. Other websites cite the tree as being 400 years old. Either way, the original trunk's interior is rotten and as a result no accurate dating can take place.

Famous quotes containing the words college and/or oak:
“We talked about and that has always been a puzzle to me
why American men think that success is everything
when they know that eighty percent of them are not
going to succeed more than to just keep going and why
if they are not why do they not keep on being
interested in the things that interested them when
they were college men and why American men different
from English men do not get more interesting as they
get older.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“The leaves are all dead on the ground,
Save those that the oak is keeping”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
