Rosslyn Chapel

Just 10 miles away from Cringletie is Rosslyn Chapel, famous worldwide for the beauty of its carvings and its aura of mystery. Rosslyn's fame has grown even greater in recent years, since it featured in Dan Brown's book, The Da Vinci Code, and the film of the same name.

The Chapel was founded in 1446, and its carvings have intrigued scholars for centuries - as well as biblical stories, there are pagan symbols, 'Green Men' carvings, and references to the Knights Templar and freemasonry. Even if you don't want to 'crack the code' of the carvings, you will still marvel at their beauty.
