In a farmer’s field in Shropshire, England, a seemingly innocuous rabbit hole leads to a mysterious underground chamber. According to locals, it used to be a secret meeting place for a medieval religious order—but could this just be a myth?

Known as the Caynton Caves, the site is located on private land near the town of Shifnal. It is so well hidden that someone could easily walk right by it without even seeing it. The entrance is so small that a person has to crouch just to enter.
