Hidden Gems in England

England’s landscape holds diverse historical treasures beyond the typical tourist path. This collection features the shell of St Dunstan in the East, a medieval church transformed into a public garden after the Blitz. It includes the massive Iron Age ramparts of Maiden Castle and the active Benedictine community at Buckfast Abbey. Natural and mystical sites are represented by the iron-rich Red Spring at Glastonbury’s Chalice Well, the coastal Merlin’s Cave beneath Tintagel Castle, and the limestone hillside figure of the Kilburn White Horse.
