Hollow trees

There is a group of mature Beech in Whitley Wood, an area of ancient semi natural woodland, which are all hollow. Strange I thought that all the trees in the group had gone the same way, it's common to find hollow trees, but no so so many together. I wonder what factors were at play here? Although their heart wood has long gone and light can be seen through the fissure in their trunks, they appear to be doing well, with thick healthy looking canopies. Nature's great isn't she.
