Cool shot...are those poles holding cables supporting the tree? How old is it?

Those poles are holding up the branches, the cables are actually from branch to branch to keep it from splitting. It's about 1000 years old, it's the Great Oak of Sherwood Forest of Robin Hood fame. :-D

Very interesting how they are helping the tree survive.
