Default tree for young children to climb in

Hello

I would like to plant a tree for future generations of young ones to climb in. Ideally it would branch fairly low and not be too tall.

Any suggestions would be really welcome.

Bramley Apple :-)) We had a huge one at the last house and the kids loved it
:-)) By its size and spread I guess it was planted when the cottage was
built in 1844. Previous people had built two tree houses in it, one lower
level and one way up high :-))

And the apples were superb :-))

There's a Cedrus Atlantica glauca near me which brings back childhood
yearnings to climb, every time I pass it! It would eventually grow
big though, as will the children!

Many thanks for your replies - I think I'm going to go for the Bramley - the idea of a tree house AND all those delicious crumbles are irresistable!!
