The view from this giant Stone Age toad is unexpectedly beautiful.

There's a strange stone hoodoo towering atop a wooded hillside and no one is quite sure how it got there.

A gorge full of caverns where early humans lived alongside cave hyenas, giant mammoths and wooly rhinoceroses.

This beautiful "lagoon" is actually a toxic soup filled with cars, carcasses, and trash. When warnings couldn't stop people from going for a dip, the town dyed it black.

This crumbling folly looks like an enchanted left over from Middle Earth.

This haunting stone chasm is a hotbed of mossy rock and English legend.

An enigmatic natural rock formation with a manmade passage cut through the center.

This wild game of "football" between two sections of an English town has been staged every year for countless centuries.

A spooky juxtaposition of caves and graves gives this legend-filled cemetery a particularly haunting vibe.

Left by the Devil, an ancient quarry or just plain old erosion, this enigmatic rock pillar rises 28 feet from the hillside.

Under a church hides a forgotten 13th-century ossuary containing the remains of around 2,500 people.
