The ruins that lie ivy-cloaked amongst the trees here are said to have originally been a nunnery or a hospice for women in the Middle Ages. However, it's more likely that the buildings date to the 17th century and were used as a private residence before being sold as a farm and then left in ruins. The site is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and you can't enter it but you can see it from the trail.
