The Duke's Walking Stick
Picture Gallery
"The Duke's Walking" stick formerly stood in Welbeck Park, unmatched (it is said) for height and straightness. It was 111ft 6ins. high and calculated to contain 440ft of solid timber. Its weight was estimated at 11 tons.
The acorns of this oak were carefully saved and distributed as presents anong the Duke of Portland's acquaintances, so that it has doubtless become the parent of many oaks now living.
