This reminds me of St Governs Chapel, beautiful eerie place, this is probably a smugglers den, who knows, great video, how lucky are we to have this on our door step 👌
The smuggler theory seems the most compelling for me. But as you say in the video it looks awfully rocky even for a rowing boat. Someone went to a lot of trouble to build that. Don't fancy sticking my head under it. Informative video, thx.
Thanks, I find your videos super useful and interesting for learning about the history of locations around the Wales coast. Lovely part of Gower down there.
It doesn't go as high as some of the doors and it's in a little cove which would be very difficult to get a boat safely into. The channel does get big tides and large waves
NOW THAT PLACE IS AMAZING M&M GREAT HISTORY TOO🏴 HOPE YOU ARE BOTH WELL , LOOKING FORWARD TO SNOWDONIA , WET, DAMP N COLD IN THE MIDWEST TAKE CARE 😁
Marcus-have you heard the tale of a smugglers tunnel that allegedly runs from the crypt in Newton chuch (Porthcawl) down to the beach. I know someone who claims to have been in it but I find it far fetched.
I've heard that one but there are so many issues with it. Firstly, the area is all sand so any form of tunnelling would be difficult. The water table is high, there's a well only 50 yards away. And it emerges on Newton Beach which can be seen from about 7 miles away, not the most secluded place for smuggling. Saying that I wouldn't mind having a look around Newton Church.
These are remains of partial building walls from tartarian civilization. The rocks and stones surrounding the building are melted and petrified building materials.
The round hole brandy barrel size the taller doors taller barrels hoisted up and stored perhaps on floors any evidence of floor joist holes in there I wonder maybe someone got up there on ladder or hoist system Marcus he knows to much now it makes you wonder how long will that place keep its secrets
Don't crawl up in those dangerous places. Put your camera on a pole. We'll be happy. I'm sure that your wife won't be happy if you get hurt and I won't be either. I just found your channel!

What an absolute gem of a place.
Really interesting place

Thanks 👍 Yes we are lucky

Yes, the smuggling story is interesting but it would be really difficult to land. Especially in the days before motorboats.

Thank you very much. Appreciate it, more local stuff coming up in the new year.
Very interesting video. I was wondering how high the water goes up that wall during high tide?

It's been mild here. We were visiting a Welsh Whisky Distillery in North Wales, very nice too.
I’ve been to see salt house how far from there to see the house in the rocks only seen on tv as to say
It wasn't that far, about 25 mins (if that) but quite steep going down to the rocks.

Interesting theory but not correct.
that's a load of rubbish

I think it probably had a couple of uses over the years. I don't think it was ever that secret.
A lot of effort building it just for a dovecote, me thinks
Old medieval dovecotes were big, used as a source of food plus the waste was used for fertiliser, gunpowder, and tanning leather.
I thought a hermit lived in there
