If there were a part of England that still practice ancient witchcraft, human sacrifice, and ancient superstitions and pre-Christian religions, which part would that be?

No part of England still practises human sacrifice.

Ok, but what I am asking is hypothetical: if there were such a place, where would it be?

Loads of groups are into witchcraft, paganism druidism and all that nonsense. Just Google uk witchcraft groups.

It's the same as groups in America meeting up and pretending to be Irish.

I understand, but is there any region that has a reputation for being really into dark ancient pagan magic? Like, in the US, New Orleans and Appalachia are known for that.

I actually recall seeing a lot of pagan stuff out in Totnes. Lots of "alternative" spiritual books, and flyers for pagan groups to go dancing in the woods or whatever. I guess it goes hand-in-hand with it being a hippy town.

You might think so because we're very rural, but I don't really see anything like that around here.

I was just about to reply with Totnes. It has a thriving pagan/Wicca community. Conversely I don't think I've seen anything similar in Cornwall, despite the stereotypes.

Glastonbury, mainly. There's a surprising amount in Devon, too -- Totnes is the centre of it, but Dartmoor is a popular spot with its neolithic ruins and "haunted" woods. The Witchcraft and Folklore of Dartmoor is a good read.
