St Cuthbert's Well and Holywell Beach - SOUTH-WEST UK ROADTRIP

Holywell Cave - also known as St Cuthbert’s Cave - is set in the south west corner of Kelsey Head, and can be accessed at low tide from the north east end of the beach at Holywell Bay, near Newquay. A natural spring, descending through a surreal, multi-coloured grotto from the back of the cave, has drawn thousands to the bottom of this cliff over the years, and is thought to be the origin of Holywell Bay’s name.
At its entrance, small, slippery steps carved into the side of the rock hundreds of years ago are now barely distinguishable, worn down by centuries of feet climbing up into the cave. Pilgrims, mothers with sick children and cripples who would leave their crutches behind at the foot of the cave - all came to drink from the holy well, which was said to have incredible healing properties.
