Formed by shifting ground on a hillside near Buxton, Lud's Church is a deep, overgrown chasm hidden within woodland. Historically utilised as a clandestine religious sanctuary, this extraordinary rock formation sinks roughly eighteen metres into the earth. It provides a remarkably atmospheric and peaceful destination for hikers exploring the local landscape.
