Aerial footage shows fallen 700-year-old Devon oak tree

Residents of a village in south-west England are mourning the loss of an oak believed to have stood since the 15th century. It is unclear why exactly the tree in Silverton fell as it occurred on a sunny day and not during a storm.

Oh no 😢

[@Wordavee1]

It kindly fell in the safest direction!

Looks like the core of it was rotten, a symbol of modern UK

[@FishAndChips69]

Probably infested with bugs.

Looks like the Lord knew where to put it for it's final journey. Lots of firewood for locals to pick it apart.

This tree was not owned by a Lord. It was part of the public domain.

It’s a shame all the oldest trees across UK did not survived the brutal storms for many years.
