After a week off from making videos and moving house I’m back with this little Holywell Bay video. Hopefully you all enjoy it and it’s good to be back.
@@colinpiper6280 I’ll reveal a bit more of what I’ve been up to in the next video but you’re right about the hair cut 😂 it’s hanging on by a thread at the moment 😆
I have drank the water or more sipped a bit and it's the nicest water I've ever tasted. I have an obsession with holy wells and I can tell you I've never drank from any of them but this one I did even after reading parents were dunking their kids in it to relieve them of their affliction's.
Nice! We'll defo be popping along for a wee look around. And, yes, I think I will drink the water. (Dependent on smells and general feeling upon entering the cave!) Thanks for sharing, Shaun.
I've lived in Cornwall all my life hahaha I know ur struggle .. but I di manage to get ther ea couple of years ago when no one was around for a proper loonies lovely . Hope u enjoyed ur trip 😊
Darn!!! I only walked along that beach on my SWCP journey this week and didn’t know about this well. DOH!! I knew about GOT and opening for Bond “Die Another Day” but this is WAY cooler! Thank you for sharing and perhaps another visit is due 🙂
Nice video Shaun nice to see you back will put this on my go to places for the future. Yes i think i would have drank the water having drank loads of beer and Jack Daniels etc over lots of years that water would be pure to my liver lol. Thanks as always Shaun.
@@LoveSundays No I didn't. Didn't even know it existed. But I did visit the beach with the dog 🐕. Irs a good walk from the road. The week we were there . There was lots of Merlin helicopter action over the Penhale camp . Not sure why . But I believe Penhale carries alot of history back WW2 .
Hi shaun. What a beautiful place. I think you was right not to drink the water don't think I would have either, salt water isn't the best thing to drink 🤔 missed your video last week. Keep up the good work mate
Great video, Holywell is such a beautiful beach. Visited the well cave a few times, it's a place I love to show people, cos the cave looks uninteresting from the outside, but the well is spectacular. Have drunk the water, but don't have any illnesses to heal I'm afraid, so don't know how well it works. The flavour was nothing special!
My thought process was if I don’t have any illnesses to heal I leave the water for other who need it. Well either that or I just chickened out 😂 thanks for watching
Hello nice vid. We went to all the caves around Holywell but we couldn’t find it next time can you pls put a location so it’ll be easier to find. Thanks
Cracking video, and very interesting as I have never been to the holy well either. Not sure I would have sampled the water, good call there I reckon... Thanks for distracting me a bit from the horrendous essay I am avoiding writing ;) Great choice of music as always Shaun.
Good to see you back Shaun! Hope your move went well. I might have been tempted to taste the water at the very top but the big pool at the bottom,,,,no way, Somebody might have had a pee in it! 🤤🤣
Hi Shaun, some great advice there regards tide and how amazing is that holy well 👌...no no no.. definitely wouldn't have drank the water..it made me think of the bit in Harry Potter when he had to give Dumbledore the poisonous water 😂. Great video again and always love the angles of your camera work 📹...thanks Shaun 👍🙏😊
You said it was really windy but I didn’t see any wind. Haha. If you could have flown the drone my bet is you wouldn’t have gotten lost. It’s a conspiracy man!!! That was a really cool place. I probably would have tried to drink it but Kristi would’ve stopped me before it was too late. Lol
I’m down here at the moment and was going to go there yesterday but decided to walk the SWCP from st Agnes head to Trevanaunce Cove (circular) would I drink the water 💦 probably no 🤣
My gran grew up there from 1914. She remembered the wreck from 1921, chapel visits to the holy well and when the Germans bombed penhale camp in 1940. My grandfather helped built penhale army camp. He also served in the army sappers in N Africa and Italy. My g grandfather was a tin miner and all knew how to use explosives. He was a mine captain in the mines under perranporth and st agnes. I grew up at Rose in the 1970s and 80s, and Holywell not surprisingly is the first beach I remember in my life, with Perranporth, Polly Joke, Crantock and St Agnes next.
Ahhhh , I’m So glad you did this Sean , I’ve been here dozens of times thinking it was round the corner where the tide never quite gets low enough. Someone told us it was in the bigger cave! All is now clear. The cave looks a lot bigger in Poldark 😁
Lovely vid Sean, we've been there half a dozen times and not been to this bit, we only did the other caves. Have to say that Holywell is one of our favourite sunset spots in summer, it's absolutely stunning for a bbq, beer and a surf. Keep up the good work :)
I wonder how long you would have had to sit there if the couple hadn’t told you it was behind you! When I get there on my SWCP journey, I will drink from the well but I will use my water filter first 😉
You’re like Bear Grills Paul 😆 thanks for watching mate. I probably would’ve waited there a little bit longer but when the waves nearly hit me I was like hang on the tide isn’t going out any further. Then this couple asked me what I was filming for so I explained I was trying to find it and they said it’s over there 😆
Awwwwww Shaun ….. having a right binge on your vids and this pops up …… Holywell is our fave place ever when we come to Cornwall 💜 Last year we tried to get to the Holy well but tide was in each time lol There is another over the dunes also ….. but couldn’t find that either lol 😂
You did well with the tide, the shipwreck is not often seen. There is no way I would drink the water...I have climbed up to the top and there was things swimming in it 🤮. Love a good dog walk here and especially on a summers evening sat in the dunes watching the sun go down 😊
I'm sure that waters about as clean as freshwater can be after trickling through all that rock for however long. It's probably full of minerals too. That's probably why sick people who had been drinking shitty medieval town water got better if they slept in that cave for a week drinking spring water.
National trust don’t own the air space above the land, if you can take off and land from the beach, generally that’s crown land and you can take off/ land from there, you will need to check on a map Ike dronescene map. 👍
Yes sorry bro definatly would have drunk the water in the uk whats the worst that could happen haveing said that i did get a nasty little ulser causeing stomach bug called helliobacta just with a handfull of very clean looking river water in western austrailia lol nouthing a strong course of antibiotics couldnt fix tho , very cool spot and new to me didnt go there as a young fella liveing in cornwall but is on my list to check out when im next there cheers 👍
Aw thank you. Glad you like the videos. I was so happy that Ed decided to review one of my videos. Have a lovely weekend. I post new videos every Sunday so there will be another one out tomorrow 😊
Hope the house move went well, have to say I missed the video but all good thanks for another video lovely content and no I wouldn’t drink the water like you you never know if you are going to be unwell. Hope you are well? Look forward to the next video..cheers! 😃
Thank you for posting this. Found the cave yesterday and was slightly disappointed as the caves round the other side of the beach are so much better. But thank you at least we managed to find it and can say we have been
This is such a beautiful place. I have seen several photos and I believe also in one of the Poldark episodes. I just missed it when we were passing Holywell in 2018, due to the "not low enough" tide. I see that I had the right place pinned on Google maps. Perhaps I'll make it some other time :-) Thank you for sharing!
@@mattrussell250 thank you 😃 I have recognized both Holywell beach and Gull Rock and several other Poldark filming locations along the coastal path in North Cornwall and around West Penwith 😊 And there will be more as I am progressing around Lizard next year 😊 But I didn't know about this other cave. Thank you for the info 👍😊
After a week off from making videos and moving house I’m back with this little Holywell Bay video. Hopefully you all enjoy it and it’s good to be back.
Loved it👍
I was wondering what happened last week. New house, new haircut. :)

And, yes, I think I will drink the water. (Dependent on smells and general feeling upon entering the cave!)
Thanks for sharing, Shaun.
Great video Shaun, Alfie is staying down Holywell this weekend and they plan to find the well this weekend
Cheers Steve hopefully the video will help them find the cave 👍
Another great video. Love the way you are on camera you make us feel like we’re there with you
Thank your Peter
Class Shaun! 🏴☠️ 🔍

Thanks for this vid, we found the well no probs after this, it was amazing! I've wanted to see it for years 🏖💕
Glad you found the well Kelly. It’s more beautiful in real life isn’t it 😊
Darn!!! I only walked along that beach on my SWCP journey this week and didn’t know about this well. DOH!! I knew about GOT and opening for Bond “Die Another Day” but this is WAY cooler! Thank you for sharing and perhaps another visit is due 🙂
It’s definitely worth a visit but you have to go at low tide 👍
Nice video Shaun nice to see you back will put this on my go to places for the future. Yes i think i would have drank the water having drank loads of beer and Jack Daniels etc over lots of years that water would be pure to my liver lol. Thanks as always Shaun.
Booze is good for your immune system isn’t it Nigel 👍 glad you enjoyed the video mate
Omg that looks awesome, I never knew that was there…. I feel a visit coming on . Thanks for the heads up 😊
The footage didn’t do the Holywell justice. Definitely worth a visit.
Another great video Shaun. I wouldn’t of drank the water either. Added to our list for our visit next year! 🙂
Glad you enjoyed it Sarah
Brilliant Shaun . To think I did that walk when we stayed Holywell bay caravan park . 6 weeks ago .👍👏
Did you visit the the cave when you were down Andrew?
@@LoveSundays No I didn't. Didn't even know it existed. But I did visit the beach with the dog 🐕. Irs a good walk from the road. The week we were there . There was lots of Merlin helicopter action over the Penhale camp . Not sure why . But I believe Penhale carries alot of history back WW2 .
@@LoveSundays if you get the chance give the Give the Truguth inn a try . Food is excellent.
@@andym1908 I’ll have to check that place out
Great Video Mate, really enjoyed that, I would of Drank the water because im me and I'll do anything 😂 really Nice video though Shaun👍
You’re a dare devil Alex 😆
@@LoveSundays either a dare devil or an idiot😂 one of the two😆
I'm a gregarious type but it's nice to see less people out there now. Good to see you back on it Shaun. 👍
Oh! I wouldn't have sampled the water either ... as you said safety first. 😉
Thanks Sydney
Hi shaun. What a beautiful place. I think you was right not to drink the water don't think I would have either, salt water isn't the best thing to drink 🤔 missed your video last week. Keep up the good work mate
Thanks Jon 👍
Ah! I've just read you was moving house. Hope it all went well for you both.
The well water is actually fresh water. Tried it myself.
Well well done on a great video. Been there many times but never drank the water, and I always struggle to find it!
Cheers stu

No I would not have drunk the water but they if it flows through rocks it’s safe very interesting 🤔
Thank you

Thanks Vicky. It’s definitely worth a visit. Best of luck with your essay 😊
@@LoveSundays Thanks, getting there slowly!
Good to see you back Shaun! Hope your move went well.

Definitely probably had someone’s wee in there lol

Thanks Sally glad you enjoyed the video. I’m glad I’m not the only one who wouldn’t drink the water 😆
I would have drank the water because after the punishment I’ve given my liver over the years, rancid well water would be a blessing to it
Gut of steel eh Wendall? 😆
@@LoveSundays seasoned with whisky and IPA
Catching up on my UA-cam viewing, that cave looks awesome, and no, I wouldn’t have drank the water
I’m glad I’m not the only one who wouldn’t Terry 😆

She’s a wise lady your Kristi 😂. I 100% wouldn’t have got lost if I’d sent the drone up first. Thanks for watching Kevin 👍
@@LoveSundays see? Drones save lives!
They save lives and time 😆
@@LoveSundays most definitely. Lol.
I would deffo have a sup of the water but from the top so it would b a climb lol 😆
Damn it we went last week to find it and assumed it was the larger cave just before it which has limestone deposits but not the pools 🤦♂️
There’s always next time Mark. It’ll be that much better when you do finally get to see it
I’m down here at the moment and was going to go there yesterday but decided to walk the SWCP from st Agnes head to Trevanaunce Cove (circular) would I drink the water 💦 probably no 🤣
Might be worth a visit whilst you’re down Adele just make sure you check the tide time
Was it salt water in the well or fresh! Either way I wouldn't drink it, but,, our intrepid explorer should have 😁 haha
I should’ve brought Brendon with me he’s always tastes the water before the king
@@LoveSundays 😂
It's definitely fresh comes from a spring near the golf course or something like tha
You know I’d have drank that water.
You’re my chief tester
@@LoveSundays any thing for you.
That’s what I thought 😆
Watch this video at 20:50-31:50 to help with your edit-

No chance i would drink that i prefer my bowels inside my body lol.

I was there two weeks ago. I drank the water and am feeling fine. Freshest, purest tasting water ever.
Beautiful place isn’t it

@@LoveSundays I like that you left that part in and didn’t edit it to look as though you knew exactly where it was.
Love that cave. You are making me realise that we need to have some fun down there in Cornwall !
The healing properties of this well are worth the visit alone 😂
Awwwwww Shaun ….. having a right binge on your vids and this pops up ……
Holywell is our fave place ever when we come to Cornwall 💜
Last year we tried to get to the Holy well but tide was in each time lol
There is another over the dunes also ….. but couldn’t find that either lol 😂
Maybe I’ll have to make a video about that one too 🤔. I always normally get get lost though 😂
@@LoveSundays I believe so hahaha don’t worry u ain’t the only one 😆 I have absolutely no sense of direction lol x
Very odd I was here yesterday and non of these massive rocks are here at the entrance anymore.,
You did well with the tide, the shipwreck is not often seen. There is no way I would drink the water...I have climbed up to the top and there was things swimming in it 🤮. Love a good dog walk here and especially on a summers evening sat in the dunes watching the sun go down 😊
Yummy extra protein with things swimming in it. 😆 I’m glad I didn’t drink it now 😊
It’s one of my nearest beaches … about 3 miles away. I was there a few hours before you last weekend. 😊
Small world. It really is beautiful isn’t it. You’re lucky to have it on your doorstep 😊
