The Midland Oak is an oak tree on the boundary between Lillington and Leamington Spa. A plaque at the site claims that the tree marks the centre of England. The present tree was planted in the 1990s, the previous oak tree was planted in the mid 20th century, replacing the original centuries old Midland Oak.
