Hiking

Situated in a truly beautiful location, this church's ruins date back to the 11th century. It was rebuilt in early 19th century, then restored in 1897-98, but, sadly, has now fallen into disrepair.

Hiking

Pieces of carved stone crosses suggest that a church has stood on this site from the 10th century. At this time, it would have been at the centre of the old village of Levisham. The present building dates from the 12th century, but it's believed that the original village moved due to the Black Death in the 14th century, leaving the church isolated from the current village. Local legend suggests the devil carried building materials down into the valley every night, contributing to the church's location below the village.
