Wistman’s Wood – England

Nearest city: Dartmoor National Park, Devon

One of Dartmoor’s oldest oak forests, Wistman’s Wood is steeped in legend. The twisted trees are said to be sacred to ancient Druids and haunted by the spectral “Wisht Hounds.” Locals advise against entering after dark, and many hikers report an eerie, otherworldly presence beneath the mossy boughs.
