I watched it happen. I went in that cave loads of times. It was fully crumbling and people used to get trapped in there all the time. When the tide was high it produced a great blow hole. It wasn't kept secret in the slightest. They had to warn people it was going to happen. It was even on Spotlight.
I would go in that cave all the time as a kid on holiday. We would walk under the bridge at low tide and enter through a hole in the rock where it would open up into a huge cave it was so magical. When I go there now at 53 years old its hard to imagine it, so thanks for the pics. Its a great walk to do with dogs, walking towards Watergate Bay the caves and rock pools are lovely. Always check tides though!
It's great to read accounts from commenters who experienced the cave. Spray blasting up through the 'blow hole' must have been a sight. The cement really is unsightly. Your coastlines are so beautiful. :)
Hi Sarah and Andrew, what a pity, it must have been a wonderful unique experience to play the piano there with a wonderful acoustic. But you probably can't tell if the decision was right to blow it all away. It was so interesting. We were in Newquay last week, but to hear the story now is fantastic. It's just nice to get such a nice distraction at this uncertain time in your videos. Thank you so much. Gabi
I have been to a concert at Carnglaze Caverns, St.Neot, Liskeard and yes the acoustics were amazing but it was bleddy chilly in there, great little vlog about the caverns .
A great couple of videos and interesting to learn the story of the cave. It would have been great to have seen it back in the day. We never got the chance to drop down onto the beach at Whipsiderry, the day we saw you there, but will definitely plan to go again when we know the tide will be low.
@@CornishWalkingTrails That's a real shame. It's a beautiful cove. I guess that explains why we couldn't get along that section of the coast path and had to divert along the road.
Brilliant another interesting video, have been to Newquay, but never knew the history of the cave being blown up by the council, my imagination isn’t conjuring up a very romantic picture this time as it would have been back in the day, although as you rightly say it could have been in danger of collapsing at any time, thanks for another history lesson both of you and congratulations on finally finding the right place 👍 I wonder what King Arthur would have made of all this 🤔
Good morning Bernice. A very interesting story. It's always exciting and instructive to be out with Sarah and Andrew. Too bad the cave was blown up, it must have been a unique experience to enjoy a piano concert in this cave, especially if the pianist had ice blue eyes and red curly hair......☺
@@GalwayGirl1 Hi Galway, as you say always interesting when out with Sarah & Andrew, their research is always spot on….I believe the pianist you refer to, isn’t up to concert 🎶 standards, sadly, 🥲
Fascinating stuff! ~ such a shame it was blown up. I guess it was the Council (& its various incarnations since) getting a little practice in...a warm-up for future planning policy. These days they get developers in to carry out their work, and just sign-off Council planning consent forms. Beautiful period buildings come down and glass & steel multi-occupation boxes go up, ruining the historic streetscape!
Thank you, how interesting 😊 Quite a drastic thing to do, blowing up the concert hall. But probably for the best...? I have been all the way out on the tip of Trevelgue Head, but didn't know about this, nor the Norwegian Rock, which looks less than impressing in my opinion 🤪🤣
Good old health & safety strikes again! Good job it was collapsed though as todays 'urban explorers' would have a field day in there until someone was injured and then blame the council for not doing anything about it.

The walk to watergate bay sounds like one that should go on our list!!! Walk along the beach and back on the coast path, Sarah :)

You can attend concerts in carnglaze caverns near trago mills
Fascinating! Thank you from Bodmin Moor and a chilly but wonderful sunny Sunday afternoon.

There’s something special abou knowing a nugget of information about a place and imagining how it was before, I find myself smiling! Sarah :)

Ooh I love a bonus video! 😍 xx
Very interesting. Shame the council blew it up. Glad you found it. Puppy's growing up lovely.
He’s a little gem!!! Training is going well, and he has so much energy! Sarah :)
That's a explosive story, great one. Cheers Bob
😂 Sarah :)
Very interesting. Thank you.

Have you heard the developers have moved in at Whipsiderry to cover the cliff in concrete so that they can build luxury millionaire homes? Sarah :)

I worked for Cornwall County Council many years ago, it is a much slimmer down affair these days! Sarah :)
cairn glaze caverns are still around thankfully ,, ive been in there
1987… & no video available?
A bit before the time of mobile phones! Sarah :)
And now they're going to build on the cliffs above Whipsiderry!
What a wild story!

The Norwegian Rock - thought of you! Sarah :)
@@CornishWalkingTrails 🥰😀👍🏻
The place they blew up was near the ugly concrete. It had a blow hole at high tide.
Perhaps the council could hide the man-made structure with some of the nearby loose rock.
The concrete is very blunt against the natural beauty of the cliff! Sarah :)
Sarah is definitely right!
😂
That's it where the cave is.
Good old health & safety strikes again! Good job it was collapsed though as todays 'urban explorers' would have a field day in there until someone was injured and then blame the council for not doing anything about it.
Yea! The irony! Sarah :)
