According to legend, the rolling slopes of Elberton Hill possess magic powers. The hill is part of the Cracoe Reef Knolls formed by an ancient coral reef in prehistoric sea millions of years ago. The limestone hill is also known as the 'Hill of the Fairies' because of its supposed supernatural powers.
Whether or not you believe in magic, the hill is a magical place. Its emerald slopes dotted with caves and lined with dry-stone walls are bound to enchant you.
