Culver Hole — Attraction in Port Eynon

I went here with a friend and his daughter, we timed our visit just right with the tide times. My friend was not able to get down onto the beach as his daughter was not able to get down onto the beach.

According to legend, this site was also used as a storehouse by powerful local brigand John Lucas and once had a secret tunnel that was used to move illegal contraband connecting it to the nearby salt house in Port Eynon.

From Port Eynon, head for the Salt House and then head up the coastal path. Locate the memorial on the headland and a hundred yards north along the coastal path towards Overton.

There’s a coastal path marker which you’ll need to follow, the path leading down towards the sea. You’ll arrive at a small cleft in the cliff, this is a tricky climb down to sea level so only recommended for those that are fit and able bodied.

I approached the entrance and was surprised to see it was so low down. During periods where there had been rough seas the pebbles can be washed up against the entrance blocking it up.

I scrambled in side by lying flat on my stomach and pushing forwards with my legs. This is not an adventure for this who are claustrophobic.

Once inside, the cave at beach level is a fair size as the cave extends inwards for around 15 meters at the base and narrows to around six meters at the top of the cave which is around seven meters in height.

There is an old rope that is clearly used to climb up to reach the first doorway. However, the rocks are very slippery and the holes within the wall are filled with old nesting material, bird poo and are also extremely slippery.

It would not be a good idea to explore this on your own. I chose to go no further as I...

Visited today and is very impressive. However it is not easy to get to at all, we left the main car park and headed down to the beach, scrambled over large rocks, then climbed and walked along a wall, then climbed a pretty much vertical mountain, walked along a grassy bit, through a gate and climbed down a literal cliff to get to it. Once we got there we realised you had to crawl through a little gap in the bottom and access to the windows are not possible from inside unless you want to climb a rope, at this point I was so tired we just took a couple photos of inside and left. If you're going for the cool Instagram shots be prepared you'll have to work for it haha. On the way back we joined the beach, climbed over more rocks, then climbed a cliff face around 30 feet, joined the grassy bit then turned left through a costal path which we could see lead the car park, this was a steep decline with loose rock and then joined what was like trecking through a narrow jungle of overgrown, bushes, thorns and stinging nettles back to the carpark through a campsite, took us 2 hours there and back, would've been quicker if we hadn't accidently gone the wrong way. Please note we did see an adder on the grassy bit at the top which got very close to our dog, so please keep an eye...

A great place to explore with lots of tales and legends surounding this place. Culver Hole can be visited but must be done so with great care and at low tide. About a quarter of a mile from here there is a large public car park (51.54431040120058, -4.2118757381346805) which is adjacent to a caravan and camping holiday site. There is also public toilets and a café, shop and take away. You can walk from the car park alongside the camp site until you reach the Youth Hostal. The path then takes you right and up the side of the hill but a better course is to walk on to the "Salt House". From here you can look up to the hill and see the marker stone. If you take the footpath up to this and then go along the cliff for a few hundred yards until you see a stone coast path marker. The path is just opposite this but is narrow and steep. The last few yards are difficult as you will be climbing down the rocks at the bottom. It is...
