Dreek? Dreake? Great word, that. Dreary + freak, reek, meek, weak, creak? Did I spy the long iron tongue of a scythe fixed to the wrought iron, its handle standing beside it to the right just as you walked in through the stone arch? And are you north or south of Luscombe Hill? My guesses are just north between Colley and Greenway lanes, or just south where my map indicates "Dawlish Water". As a former guide in the mountains above Santa Barbara and areas therewith, if I ventured into places I'd never been, I carried a small sack of little push-pin flag markers to follow back out from a confusing wanderway, picking them up on the way out. Of course bones or breadcrumbs work well, too. Strange place and a horrorful tale. Surely someone has made a film or written a story about it, no? Thanks for another sojourn into Dawlishisly moorish places not far from home. ♪♫♪ (Note: Sorry for the long comment, but I found where it is along with Lidwell Farm in subsequent querying).
Dreich. Its a Scottish word meaning the weather is grey, overcast and dull. Sometimes it just fits perfectly. Yes the Lidwell Chapel is just to to the west of Luscombe Castle and Hill. When we look down the valley towards the farm, that's the hill on the left. The stream which emerges from the ground alongside the Chapel runs down the valley and eventually joins Dawlish Water until they reach the sea.
@@shaungeraghtytravel Thanks for the etymological on "dreich". A perfectly drear-encompassing word, indeed! I see the whole of Little Haldon on the map so thanks for the orientation. Sometimes the online pushpins don't align perfectly. :-)

Interesting place and great story! Thanks, Shaun!
Fascinating. The energies there need major clearing!
Very interesting.
Cheers Graham!
That place hasn't changed since I was there a few years ago.
You did well to find it Angus!
