Running between two tall walls of moss-covered stone, the
natural chasm known as Lud's Church has been a hotbed of British legend for
hundreds of years, having said to have been visited by such major figures as
Robin Hood and Sir Gawain.
The so-called "church" is located in a portion of
England's Back Forest and supposedly got its name from a Christian splinter
group who used the secluded gully as a secret meeting place in the 15th
century. The atmosphere of Lud's Church is that of a Black Forest fairytale
where there are deep shadows, ancient moss covering nearly everything, and an
almost otherworldly feel. It is no wonder then that the site has been linked
with some of the country's most prevalent myths and folktales.
