UK's most HAUNTING and alien locations revealed: Do YOU live near one?
OUR GREAT country is home to many of the world’s most iconic sights.
From the remarkable formation of Stonehenge to the historical landscape of Bath, the UK is renowned for a host of historical landmarks.
Year upon year, thousands of travellers and nationals alike flock to what have become some of the most well-known tourist destinations in the world.
But the British countryside still has some secret spots and natural wonders, which don’t look so natural at all.
Lying not far from Manchester, the breathtaking Peak District National Park boasts a series of outer-worldly sights that are so spooky they almost look haunted.
But the landmarks aren’t only incredible to look at. They come with history and tales, which enhance their mysterious appeal.
From alien-like caves to hostile rock formations, here are some of the most haunting sights in the UK’s backyard as compiled by Premier Inn.
Mam Tor – Hope Valley
Aptly nicknamed the Peak District’s ‘most fascinating hill’, this region has history as rich and steep as its terrain reportedly dating back to the Bronze Age.
If you can, time your visit for sunset when the breathtaking panoramic views over the district will make you feel like you’re on another planet.
Ladybower Reservoir – Upper Derwent Valley
At a glance, the formation could be mistaken for a portal to a lost world. But in fact, the outer-worldly scene is a manmade structure.
Reportedly, the Ladybower Reservoir was built between 1935 and 1943 by ‘drowning’ the villiage of Derwent. The submerged village was then eerily exposed in 1995 due to a low water table, revealing old forgotten buildings including a school and a church.
Stanage Edge
If you fancy yourself a history buff, the remarkable remnants and striking scenery at Stanage Edge will leave you utterly amazed.
Abandoned milestones dating back to the 19th and 20th century are strewn across the moorland. With its gritstone cliffs and vast landscapes, the area is a mecca for rock climbers and explorers alike.
Peak Cavern
If you’ve been put off caving because of the confined space, this eerie-looking underground lair might actually be the perfect challenge for you.
Featuring the largest natural cave’s entrance in the British Isles, explorers can expect a host of unique rock formations. Quirkily, the cave is also known to make the most ‘flatulent-sounding noises’ when floodwater drains away from the inside.
