I travelled to rural Devon to visit the West Ogwell church, as part of my bank holiday break. The church is open 10:00-16:00? I think daily.

You may or may not recognise it as the main setting for The Borderlands aka Final Prayer (2013) found footage horror movie. I hate this saying, but it really is a 'hidden gem' of a movie that made me and my friend really want to visit the church and see it for ourselves. The last act of the movie was horrifying, and the movie itself was great throughout. Despite it being a very ominous and spooky place in the movie, it is serene, silent and cool (literally, it was 30°c outside) and spiritual inside. Without spoilers, the church has a different layout in terms of doors... I won't say any more as it may spoil a plot point.

I'd highly recommend watching the movie and then going to visit yourself. Very worthwhile and a particularly pleasant 1hr45min hike from Newton Abbot. I hope the images do the day and location justice!
