You’d be forgiven if you missed the entrance to this 700-year-old cave in Shropshire.

Because, honestly, it looks pretty much like an ordinary rabbit hole.

However, the tunnel actually unearths untouched caves which were used by followers of the Knights Templars – a medieval religious order that fought in the Crusades.

The incredible caves are hidden less than a metre beneath a farmer’s field.

The 33-year-old said: ‘I traipsed over a field to find it, but if you didn’t know it was there you would just walk right past it.

‘It’s probably less than a metre underground, so it’s more into the field than under it.



‘Considering how long it’s been there it’s in amazing condition, it’s like an underground temple.’

The tunnel leads to a network of walkways which are ‘completely untouched’, and filled with beautifully carved arches.

Michael added, however, that the cave was quite cramped – so those nearing six feet tall would have to bend down to fit in.

He said: ‘I had to crouch down and once I was in it was completely silent.

‘There were a few spiders in there but that was it.

‘It was raining so the slope down was quite sludgy but inside the cave was bone dry.’
