Gower Heritage Coast
Culver Hole
In the care of the National Trust is Culver Hole , in the Cliffs near Port Eynon Point.
An amazing 20m high wall of masonry , with look out windows
has walled in a cave on a remote part of the Gower Coast.
The Cave was sealed off when a medieval dovecote was built.
In Old English - calver means "coutre" - Pigeon or Dove.
There are stories about smugglers using it and being a castle ,
but the nesting boxes appear integral to its structure.
