Parliament Oak
The Parliament Oak is a veteran tree in Sherwood Forest. It is reputed to have been the site for -parliaments held by kings John and Edward I. In the 19th century the tree was propped-up by William Bentinck, 4th Duke of Portland. In recent years the Parliament Oak was threatened by fly-tipping and competing vegetation but was subject to conservation work in 2008. The tree was shortlisted for the 2017 Woodland Trust Tree of the Year award.
