I seem to recall Lal posting about a place that is said to be related to the Green Knight, but that might have been on FB.

Don't get me started, there are
dozens of amazing places to go and fantastic things to do around the East Mids and the Peaks.
But for a start...that 'Green Knight place'...it's called
Lud's Church and is a chasm in the White Peak. Incredibly eerie, apparently, and hard to find - which is why it's a rare place I've
not been to in the area. Up around the Staffs Moorlands it's generally very weird and creepy, especially around the Roaches, with the Doxey pool and so on. Nearby is Earl Sterndale with the Dragon's Back
Chrome Hill and Parkhouse Hill, and between them, my favourite secret corner, Dowel Dale, which has caves and buzzards and a lovely stream. And also
Arbow Low henge which is an easy place to visit, so long as the cows aren't out.
And a couple of the big name things to do:
Mr Darcy's house
Alton Towers
Sherwood Forest
