The Monk of Tangley Heath

Heath between Tangley Hall and Bruern Abbey, Tangley

Tangley Heath, a seemingly ordinary stretch of land between Tangley Hall and Bruern Abbey in Gloucestershire, is said to be traversed by a rather unusual spectre - a ghostly monk. This eerie apparition is linked to a rumoured four-mile long underground passageway that supposedly connects the two buildings. While the monk is said to walk the route over ground rather than through the alleged tunnel, the image of a lone, ghostly figure wandering the heath is enough to send shivers down the spine of even the most sceptical visitor.
