Perched atop the hill, overlooking Chesil Beach and the Isle of Portland, this chapel dates back to the 14th century and was built by the monks of Abbotsbury Abbey.
From here, you can enjoy incredible views and explore the intriguing features of this little chapel, such as the 'wishing holes,' which local women used to pray to St. Catherine to find a husband.
