The Bowthorpe Oak stands as one of Britain's oldest oak trees, found in the quiet village of Manthorpe near Bourne, Lincolnshire. This magnificent tree dates back over 1,000 years.

The oak's enormous trunk measures over 12 metres around, supporting massive branches that spread outwards creating a stunning canopy. The tree has a hollow section, though this is a natural feature of its ancient structure.

The tree sits in a peaceful meadow setting, perfect for picnics and countryside walks. Information boards tell the fascinating history of this natural landmark.

Open year-round during daylight hours with free parking nearby. The surrounding area offers lovely walking paths through typical Lincolnshire countryside.

Wheelchair access is available to view the tree from designated viewing areas.
