This tiny 12th-century chapel is nestled in the picturesque village of Keld, near Shap in Cumbria. Its simplicity and tranquility belie a rich history, with evidence of early Christian worship and Viking influence. The chapel's rugged stone exterior gives way to a serene interior, where ancient stonework and stained glass windows create a sense of peace and contemplation.
Really liked this quaint Church just outside of the Lake District. Loved the old fashioned key to open it up . Really well presented and very lovely atmosphere. Lots of information boards about it. Great woodern beams and super font. Very rustic. Would recommend a visit.
Driving down windy roads to get to this beautifully preserved building is well worth a visit. Obtaining they key to The chapel from the lovely keepers and opening the locks adds a whole new meaning to site seeing. Memories made. Thank you National Reserve!
Welcoming with an absolute stillness, it's filled with thought and feeling, a shelter built with such professional stone work
Closed still but good to see. Narrow lanes could be difficult but the locals must be used to it.
Key kept at a nearby house. Park just further down. Worth a visit for its history. Or provides a good rest for walkers or a picnic site on a wet day.
It is a small unmanned chapel which is being kept in a good state. To go inside you need to get the key first!
