Staffordshire moorlands: the mysterious Lud's Church
One of the strangest and most mystical places in the UK - Lud's Church. Mentioned as the 'Green Chapel' in Sir Gawain and the Green Night, alleged hide-out of Robin Hood (Sherwood forest is not so far away), worship place of the proto-protestant Lollards, and hidey hole for the counterfeiters of Flash (a nearby village - the highest in England) - from where the phrase 'flash money' comes from. Lud's Church is a spooky cleft in the landscape in the middle of a forest in North Staffordshire. Don't go there at night.

Never heard of this place which is odd given that I've always lived about 30 mins drive from it throughout my entire childhood. I think I'll take a visit next time I'm back with my parents in Derbyshire.
Nice, it reminds me of my roots, Ilesha, Osun state
