The gorge has a rich history intertwined with both religious and literary lore. It's most famous for being a secret meeting place for the Lollards, a 15th-century religious group, during a time of persecution of followers of Catholicism. The chasm's unique atmosphere also makes it a strong candidate for the Green Chapel in the medieval tale, "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight".

Usually pretty muddy during the winter, although there's been a mini board walk placed within luds church because it gets pretty swampy so is an easy walk through there, it's a pretty mystical place so definitely take your camera for a few snaps. Parking carefully as the road is used by large tractors as well as brewery visitors and hikers/walkers.

Beautiful to pass through, this place holds a lot of history. Be sure to take a walk on the Roaches Trail. You won't be disappointed by the naturally awe-inspiring, moist, moss-filled little ecosystem.
