Answer 1

Well, there's Oak Alley in Louisiana. But those trees were planted/landscaped...sure look cool, though!

I think it depends on the type of tree. Oak trees have a tendency to "stretch out" across small roads to create a tunnel-ish effect overhead. So any place that has a lot of oak trees might be a good start.

Answer 2

East Dorset offers an iron age hillfort called Badbury Rings.  A two mile stretch of the road from Wimborne Minster (a small town named after its church, the Minster) is known as the Beech Avenue.

The link below mentions Kingston Lacy.  That's an English country house, should you need such a thing.
