Culver Hole
A mysterious stone wall with window openings built into a cliff cleft. Legend says it was a smugglers’ hideout, but it is actually thought to be a medieval dovecote.
Culver Hole lies on the west side of Port Eynon Point, where a stone wall about 18 metres high seals a crack in the cliff. Several rows of small windows make it look like a seaside castle. Local legend says it was a smugglers’ base, but scholars generally believe it was a medieval dovecote. It can only be approached at low tide, along the rocks. From the Port Eynon car park it is about a 20-minute walk. Wear non-slip shoes and be sure to check the tide times.
