Embedded in the rugged landscapes of Exmoor National Park in Somerset, England is a tale of the supernatural that has endured for countless generations. Close to this location spins the legend of Devil’s Peak, a mysterious spot known only to a few and feared by many. Devil’s Peak, per local folklore, is not a typical summit but a portal to the underworld beneath the earth. Stories tell of an ancient covenant between the devil and an old woman, whispered in the earthen quiet of Exmoor’s hills and vales. The devil, so the story goes, needed a place to rest during his wanderings on earth and chose the old woman’s dwelling. In exchange for shelter, he promised not to torment her soul. Fearing her visitor but recognizing her fortune, the old woman agreed to the hellish pact. Before departing, the devil, true to his word, marked a nearby peak as a gateway to his realm. It has stood ominously since, cloaked in local lore and shrouded by mists. Devil’s Peak, to this day, is a place few dare to venture near after sundown. When night falls over the Exmoor landscape, stories say that chilling shrieks pierce the silence while unsettling apparitions flicker amidst the rolling fog. Whether truth or fiction, these tales have become a part of Exmoor’s cultural fabric. They remind us of our shared past, binding communities and generations together through the fear and fascination these tales instill. They also serve as a warning to beware the devil’s bargains, for they may lead to places from which there is no return.
