In a clearing in the forest, you will come across this chapel, built in the late 12th century in a Norman style. In autumn, it creates a picturesque scene with the colorful trees that surround it.
Perfect to take a break in the route.

The chapel dates back to the late Norman period, around 1190, making it the oldest building within the Milton Abbas complex. It was built by the monks of Milton Abbey as a pilgrim chapel.
