Background
Description
The Pwllpriddog Oak is known in Welsh as Derwen Pwllpriddog, and an alternative English name is the Rhandirmwyn Oak. The tree is described as a giant, being some 8.4 m in girth, and is completely hollow. The hollow inside the tree has been used by farmers in the past as a pig sty – the current farmer uses its branches as a roost and nesting place for ducks. Bands and choirs have used the tree as a performance venue, and it is thought to be the only tree in Wales to have had live music performed inside of it.
