The Devil’s Chapel’ is a region believed to have been exploited, most likely before Roman times. It comprises a intricate network of deep gouges, pits, and tunnels, collectively referred to as ‘Scowles’ by locals in the Foresters area. Renowned for its eerie atmosphere, this site has served as a backdrop for film and television productions in the past.
