Some parts of the world have more than their fair share of historic and veteran trees Scotland for example...just greedy if you ask me, so many check this site for a good list and the means to buy the book form the Forestry Commission of Scotland

I'll pick just one, I love trees that swallow stuff!!
In the small village of Brig o'Turk (great name!) is a 100yr old sycamore
Acer pseudoplatanus that has swallowed a bicycle.
