This specific oak tree lives on the edge of the Chirk Castle estate near Wrexham. In 1165 the Battle of Crogan took place here and many of the dead lay buried where they fell near the oak tree. The ancient oak is estimated to be over 1000 years old and is sadly in decline, suffering a major split in 2010. It’s title is a recent addition.
