The Hell Lane bridleway, in West Dorset, is an excellent place to visit if you like interdimensional portals and scary Pagan graffiti.

What is that, lurking in the forest?!
Giving serious folk horror vibes, this is the weird carved stone known as 'Le Babouin' (the Baboon) in the woods near Trédion in Brittany.
No-one knows who made it, or when, or indeed why.
