伊丽莎白女王的橡树

 伊丽莎白女王的橡树

Paul King

格林威治公园是伦敦的八个皇家公园之一,这里有一个相当破旧的皇家历史;伊丽莎白女王的橡树。

这棵巨大的橡树可以追溯到12世纪,与都铎王朝的皇室有着密切的联系。 据传说,亨利八世曾与安妮-博林在这棵橡树下跳舞,而伊丽莎白一世女王据说也经常在树荫下休息时吃点东西。

应该记住,在都铎王朝时期,古橡树已经有400年左右的树龄。 正如公元韦伯斯特在他的书中评论的那样 格林威治公园--它的历史和伙伴:

所谓的老橡树,皇室成员经常聚集在它的下面,在它的全盛时期,一定是一棵巨大的树,伊丽莎白女王经常在里面喝茶,违反公园规则的人也被关在里面,它的腰围足有20英尺,而内部的空腔直径有6英尺。 .'

虽然这棵树在19世纪的某个时候就死了,但它周围长出的成片的常春藤又让它挺立了150年。 事实上,这棵树一直挺立到1991年,一场大雨把它冲倒了。 显然,支撑这棵腐朽的老橡树的土壤被冲走了,从而让这棵树自由地落回了地面。

幸运的是,这棵树还在那里,尽管角度相当水平,而且被各种奇妙的虫子和真菌所覆盖。 在它旁边有一棵新的小橡树,是爱丁堡公爵在1992年为纪念它而种植的,还有一块专门为这棵宏伟的古树留下的牌子。

如果你在这个地区...

值得一游的是弗兰斯蒂德之家西南面的古墓园,里面有多达25个撒克逊和青铜时代的古墓。
