A cliff fall at Holywell Bay in Newquay, Cornwall, damages Holywell Cave, also known as St Cuthbert’s Cave. The cave, which has been used as a filming location for the television series “Poldark,” is reported to be affected in a way that locals describe as leaving it “gone forever.”
Multiple reports focus on the cave’s role as a local landmark and media draw. Coverage describes it as a popular “magical” site and highlights the impact on residents and visitors who associate the location with the programme and with the local coastline. The accounts emphasize the dramatic nature of the collapse, linking the incident to the apparent loss of the cave in its previously accessible form. While the outlets frame the outcome as final, the common thread is that the cliff instability has caused significant physical damage to the cave area.
The reported details broadly align on the location, the cave’s dual name, and the connection to “Poldark,” with attention centered on local reaction to the apparent permanent change to the coastline.
