About

This ancient Saxon chapel is the oldest church in England built by St Cedd in 654AD. It is one of the most restful and spiritual buildings in the country, a place to bring you peace and tranquility. The old Saxon quote on the Chapel sign ‘In this place the word is revealed to you’ is certainly true.

The Chapel is situated at one end of the long distant walk ‘St Peters Way,’ right on the coast and has stunning views - a must for walkers and those keen on photography.

The car park is about ¼ mile away from the chapel, so a walk along the track is necessary.

Please take your rubbish home as the area is presently having difficulties with litter.
