[@TerriWilson-bi3pj]

Whilst staying in Mojarca, Spain we went on a coach trip to Grenada. On the way back we stopped at a tiny hamlet, where inhabitants lived in caves and earned an income from making garden pots etc from local clay. One old man rode up to the tiny bar on a donkey. He then entertained customers telling his family history of living in the caves for generations. Apparently when a young couple wanted to set up home the parents just allowed them to dig out another room in their cave and they all lived together. He enjoyed the tips and drinks the tourists treated him to.🍷🍷 A final amusing twist as we drove away was to see tv ariels poking out of the grassy mounds above the caves.😄

[@susi-emily]

Wow, like real life Hobbit Holes. What a wonderful place. I don't think I'd have wanted to give up living there, but maybe the idea of a flushing loo was too much to turn down!

[@throughlucyslens]

And maybe hot running water too? It’s a shame because in modern times I suspect all those issues could be ironed out to make great, safe homes

Ohh that’s amazing. I really want to get out on the canals. It’s my dream to have a canal boat holiday!

[@smogthehorse9409]

@@throughlucyslens the canal side shelters were not far from the cave houses, I will ask my mum where it was. Sadly my parents gave up thier canal boat around 5 years ago, it was based in Gailey, the canals around there are wonderful and we saw places easily missed by road. Lots of interesting houses and buildings open to the public. We found the cave houses by accident. If you get a chance get out on the canal. Fascinating videos by the way, I really enjoyed the prefabs, I used to be the grounds manager for a lodge park and there are many similarities between lodges and prefabs, I would say I'd prefer a prefab given the choice.

A British friend of mind bought an underground home in the US because she knew about the benefits of living underground, like the place you explored. I've lived in a purpose built underground home in the US for over forty years. We have no heating or air conditioning bills. I think this will become a normal way of living in order to survive climate change. Thanks for this video!

[@throughlucyslens]

So nice to hear from you - from a person who has an underground home, like I said in the video I think they are amazing. Do you mind me asking where abouts in the US they are? I am always really interested in quirky "unconventional" housing - which yes, I do believe will become conventional in years to come.

[@GeckoHiker]

@@throughlucyslens Our homes are in Missouri, a place with a lot of karst caves (geologic term). It is also possible to build earth sheltered homes on private land because many counties don't have building codes. My own family were Native American settlers in Oklahoma, prior to the forced removal labeled "The Trail of Tears". People would often build a "soddy" into a hillside because on the plains there was a lack of trees to build a log cabin. My family's old soddy from the early 1800s is still in use as a food cellar on the original homestead.

[@dewithistle910]

Really chuffed to see these. I'm originally from Worcestershire and went with some friends to Kinver Edge for a day out in the early 70s. We didn't see or know about the live-in caves but we did find some empty shallow caves and made one our base while we explored, etc, so it's great to also see the cave cottages too. Really enjoyed your tour. Cheers. :)

[@GreatGreebo]

Excellent video. I had heard about these cottages before but never saw any footage so I really enjoyed your tour of them. Thank you for making this little documentary. I appreciate your thorough narration with all the history too. I’m from Ketchikan, Alaska. We have lots of wood stairs that go straight up into the mountains. You cannot drive to any of the houses on these type of boardwalk “roads” and have to take the 300+ stairs. People still live in these houses today. (They are scattered all over the place). My Gramma’s house (now my aunt lives there) is halfway up a mountain if you take the stairs. Fortunately, there is a single lane, reinforced boardwalk made from wood pilings so you can drive a vehicle up there to get to all the houses perched up on the face of the mountain. I grew up thinking everyone had stairs and wooden boardwalks stuck to mountain sides 🤣. I wonder if the children who grew up in these cave houses thought the same thing about cave houses and stairs until they got out into the world 🤔. Cheers and once again, thank you.

[@throughlucyslens]

Oh wow! It's so good to hear from you: that is absolutely fascinating and you don't know how happy it makes me to hear from people all over the world and where they live - this sounds amazing but 300 steps .. I can't even imagine that with the groceries!

[@GreatGreebo]

@@throughlucyslens it is an utter NIGHTMARE at times. It rains ~13 feet on average per year in Ketchikan (it make’s London look absolutely dry and arid by comparison) so having to schlep groceries or furniture up and down the boardwalks and stairs can be frustrating at times!! But we grew up with this and had no idea it wasn’t the “normal”. I’m now subbed to your channel so I am watch more of your videos. I love learning about other people’s lives 🥰 thank you for your response.

I used to love going to Kinver Edge when I was little - playing in the sand made me feel like I was at the seaside. Now I live at the seaside but memories of the Midlands are always with me - like you, I’m slightly obsessed with social history. If you are ever down in the South West on holiday, Bygones at St. Marychurch, near Torquay is really well worth a visit - it looks very small from the outside but it’s vast inside - like a tardis. 🙂 There’s also Brixham museum and the Golden Hind, Kent’s Cavern in Torquay, Coleton Fishacre - the home of the D’Oyly Cartes and Greenway, Agatha Christie’s home, all within a couple of miles of each other. Just loooove your videos - please keep making them - they’re sooo interesting! x

I’m sure other commenters have said the same, but this reminds me so much of the underground houses of Coober Pedy in Australia. Some really fascinating Coober Pedy homes show up on real estate sites from time to time, which were owned by elderly people who barely altered them over the decades. They are often even sold with assorted furniture and household objects still in place, so it is a real pleasure to look through the images, like a time capsule. Similar to the homes in your video, they are generally owner-excavated, so there is a lot of personality and individuality to each room.

[@throughlucyslens]

I need to check out these houses, they sound absolutely amazing and SUCH A good idea in Aus to avoid the boiling summers. I heard sometimes people would dig a room and find an opal too which is a real bonus. Would be amazing to visit one day - bucket list stuff :)

How lovely are these homes, they sound Ideal, there are cave dwellings in Spain which are still being lived in today.

Hi sweetie I'm Heather from Iowa USA and I thoroughly enjoy and appreciate you and your videos! I'm so glad that at 4am here your videos popped up. I LOVE history so much! My mom and I used to do genealogy when she was alive. I learned her love of learning and history. Weekends and summers were spent at the library and on old back roads to actually see where our family lived and where they were buried. I, like you, have an awe for wondering about whoever looked through the windows or touched railings and doorknobs. It's SUPER amazing. I have so many past relatives from across the pond -so to speak. I've never been but watching your videos gives me more visuals and stories for me to gobble up like candy!!!! Thank you so much!

[@throughlucyslens]

Hey Heather, thanks so much for your lovely comment. There's such a strong connection across the pond, when I did my genealogy I had so many distant relatives in the USA and Canada now, I didn't have a clue. One day I would love to come to The States to make some videos - would be a dream come true!

[@heatherarmstrong1366]

@@throughlucyslens If or when you come across the pond I'd love to meet you in person! I really feel you are a wealth of untapped uniqueness!!! Thank you so kindly for sending me your response, I feel blessed by you. Do you believe in kindred spirits/friends? Just wondering. Love 💕 Heather from Iowa USA.

[@throughlucyslens]

I believe we are all attached in some way or another in the universe by spiritual ribbons yet! Hence I think we should all just get on.. enjoy each others wealth of knowledge and celebrate our cultures ❤️❤️

[@RedddPilll]

I love this type of thing! Thanks for showing us!

[@throughlucyslens]

You are so welcome x

I am so sad I never saw this amazing place when I was living in England a few years ago , I have to plan a visit one day ❤️

[@throughlucyslens]

It will still be there, waiting for you ❤️

[@stargazer4508]

This is so great. We have something similar in the area where i grew up in America. We called them rock houses. And they were actually over hang caves with a large open front. And they would build a front or surrounding walls out of stacked sandstone rocks. I went to school with a girl who's father grew up in one. Thanks for sharing your adventures.😊

[@throughlucyslens]

Wow on an overhang too! You can't even imagine getting up and down but I love how humans can make a home out of anything given the chance. - thanks so much for sharing! I am going to look those up :)

[@josiesmith850]

So lovely and such a peaceful spot minus the tourists! 😂🥰

[@throughlucyslens]

It really is! Visit in the week on a dodgy weather day and the birds singing in the peace & quiet is glorious!

[@MidwestLori77]

[@marycorbett1881]

Lovely video and described very well .Really enjoyable to see how people lived in the cave houses ,I would live there they looked very homely and warm.

[@throughlucyslens]

I think they are wonderful! Sitting here on a boiling hot day in my Victorian home determined to keep me at a million degrees I would love to be sat in a cave right now!
