DEVIL’S CHIMNEY, Gloucester­shire

-

This crooked limestone pillar of mysterious origin stands above a quarry in the Cotswold Edge, where it’s said to vent smoke from the furnaces of hell. Driven undergroun­d after hurling stones at churchgoer­s from Leckhampto­n Hill, the Devil is kept at bay by coins left atop the chimney.
