ees on Dartmoor which have been officially classified as ‘Historic Oak Trees’ these are; the Hawson Cross Oak (known as the Stumpy Oak) and the Meavy Oak. Three more are located just outside the National Park boundary and these are the Shilstone Oak, the Ashton Oak and the Honour Oak at Tavistock.
If anybody would like to explore the history of the oak tree then I can thoroughly recommend a book published in 2003 entitled ‘Oak – A British History’. This was written by Harris, Harris and James and published by Windgather Press.
