The Pontfadog Oak
Pontfadog, a small town in the Ceiriog Valley some 4 miles from Chirk, was in the news a couple of years ago for the sad loss of the Pontfadog Oak. Known as "The National Tree of Wales" - a Sessile Oak (Quercus petraea) which was estimated to be between 1,181 and 1,628 years old (in 1996).
Sadly the tree has now been removed altogether, and I could find no trace on a recent visit.
