Fairy Chapel

Cave / Rock Shelter

treehugger-uk Sep 7, 2006

The Fairy Chapel is located on A limestone outcrop known as Humphrey Head.

Access is not good as the cave is located high up on the side of the cliff. I originally tried to access it from the top of the cliff via the footpaththe best way is to climb up from the bottom where it is marked on the photo. This is one for the enthusiast and I would not recommend the climb as it is rather treacherous I’m just daft enough to to try it. A Fantatsic little rock shelter though when you find it I was pleasantly surprised and the views out were stunning.
