Gawain - Finding the Green Chapel - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I know both locations very well. I was working at Ecton in the Manifold valley last Monday during the great rainstorms and took the time to visit Wetton Mill. The ford, usually half an inch deep, was again a raging torrent.

I've always thought of Lud's Cave (or Lud's Church) as a suitable location for the Green Chapel but never considered Wetton Mill as such. Perhaps that's because Lud's Church has always been quiet and spooky when I've been there, summer or winter, whereas Wetton Mill has always been full of people (except for last Monday) with children noisily playing in the river; very pleasant but not in the least mythic.
