    A photographer has uncovered a stunning 700-year-old underground complex believed to be linked to the Knights Templar.

    Beneath unassuming holes in a farmer’s field near Shifnal, in Shropshire, lie untouched caves allegedly used by the medieval order that fought during the Crusades.

    Photographer Michael Scott, from Birmingham, set out in search of the caves and came back with pictures of the remarkable underground network.

    The pictures of the Caynton caves show archways and a series of walkways carved out of sandstone.

    Some chambers are so small that those exploring have to enter them on hands and knees, the Shropshire Star reports.

    There are rumours the caves have also been visited by pagans and druids wanting to hold ceremonies and are popular at solstice and Halloween, the paper adds

    Although the caves are less than a meter below surface, you may not have the easiest of
    times if you decide to go looking for them. Michael Scott, from Birmingham, recently decided
    to search them out and photograph them. "I traipsed over a field to find it, but if you didn't
    know it was there you would just walk right past it.”
