This is called the ‘Spooky Tree’. It is in the Pachesham Equestrian Centre in Surrey where I go to see a friend who is an osteopath and practices there. The tree is a local feature and of course looks different depending on the time of year, the weather and the time of day. My friend has grown up with it so no doubt she and her brother have lots of stories about it! It certainly is quite impressive and scary in the dark.

fabulous tree! – love the limb shapes – certainly “spooky” – like a cartoon tree. I wonder how long it has been dead? (I was looking it up – its an Oak apparently).

I am not sure. I will ask next time I go for a treatment. I got the impression my osteopath had grown up with it but not sure how long it has been dead.

Yes you are right it is an oak. It has been nearly dead for about 10 years.

A craggy old tree with so much character.
