The legend of Merlin the wizard


Visit the beach below the castle and explore Merlin's Cave when the tide is out. The cave fills with water at high tide, but has a sandy floor and is explorable at low tide. The cave goes all the way through the rock.

On the beach, close to Merlin's Cave, a discreet carved face represents Merlin, who has been associated with the site since the 12th century and immortalised by the poetry of Alfred, Lord Tennyson. Tennyson described waves bringing the infant Arthur to the shore, and Merlin carrying him to safety.

Search for Merlin's face hidden in the rocks on the beach.

Take a Picture from the face with you and / or your GPS.

Thanks!

More pictures from the waterfall and the cave are welcome! Lächelnd

 

 

 happy geocaching

Einen OC in UK auf OC.de einzustellen, ist wohl leider noch weniger fruchtbar als in DE - so what, da bleibt ja das Logbuch halt nur 3,5 Jahre leer...

Vielleicht macht ein Einstellen auf OC UK mehr Sinn. https://opencache.uk/

Anyhow, wir waren nicht unten an der Höhle, deshalb ein Foto von oben und endlich ein Log hier...

Schöne Grüße, AndreIsaPaul und Luke!
