Just about two miles northwest of the coordinates you provided, lies an area called ‘The Devil’s Jumps’, which is a series of three small hills near the villages of Churt and Frensham in Surrey, England. The story that circulates among locals is not only intriguing but also has a tinge of a devil’s play, which adds a mysterious charm to it.
The old folklore has it that once upon a time, the devil used to amuse himself by jumping from the top of one hill to another. The hills were said to be formed by the devil scraping away soil in order to jump better, and the topmost layer of sand on the hills is the remains of those scrapes. The locals often narrate, with an eerie sense of mystery, that whenever the devil used to fail and stumble, he used to cause thunderstorms. The devil supposedly left after a local priest climbed the hill and prayed for his departure. The marks of the devil’s cloven hoofs reportedly remain etched away on one of the hills. As the locals say, these devil’s footprints still visible on the hills are an open invitation for the devil to return any moment.
Interestingly, the geography of the land also validates the story, given the anomalous formation of the three hills amidst the flat land surrounding them and inexplicably scattered boulders lying around.
To date, The Devil’s Jumps retain their mystery and attract tourists and locals alike, who come to witness the devil’s playground in person, bringing to life the age-old lore. These hills also serve as a reminder of the prehistoric belief systems and unique geographical history.
