Does anyone know anything about this little cave?
I remember poking about in it a long time ago while on holiday in Perranporth - it's a sea cave, accessible at low tide, but with fresh (?) water flowing into it producing a series of gour pools.
My explorations were limited by lack of equipment and a young family (Come on, Dad! We wanna play on the beach!) but I managed to get some way in before being dragged out to build sandcastles.
Found a page about it on the Internet, but unfortunately it's in German.

The mechanically translated page is interesting, but not very helpful:
"In the Holywell Cave immediately that there are there correct dripping fancies also once, “flow clay/tone†are there called the stones are noticeable. The “holy source†fit naturally the sinter basins, which give it at one time there. Full waters are they. You can in-dip, to something take your hand out, you wash with it. Hilfts which? Perhaps. Anyhow does it surely also nothing harms. "
Does anyone know any more about the place?
