near Newquay, Cornwall, UK
Holywell Beach, an expansive sandy stretch in Cornwall, is known for its picturesque dunes and dramatic coastal scenery. Located near Newquay, the beach offers stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean and is popular for surfing, walking, and exploring caves at low tide. Its rugged beauty has made it a favored filming location, most notably in the BBC series Poldark.
In Poldark, Holywell Beach serves as a stand-in for various coastal locations in Cornwall. The beach’s windswept dunes and vast landscape provide the perfect backdrop for scenes of horseback riding and dramatic confrontations, enhancing the historical drama’s connection to the wild Cornish coast.
Holywell Beach is named after a natural cave located at the northern end of the beach, which contains a historic spring, or "holy well." The cave houses a limestone formation, and over the centuries, mineral-rich water has trickled through, creating natural basins. This water was once believed to have healing properties, drawing people to the site for centuries. The "holy well" has long been associated with local legends and spiritual significance, with some suggesting it had connections to ancient Celtic rituals or Christian pilgrimages.
The cave is accessible during low tide, allowing visitors to explore the striking interior and witness the intricate rock formations shaped by the flow of water. It's a unique feature of Holywell Beach, offering both natural beauty and a glimpse into Cornwall's rich cultural heritage.
Filming was under strong winds! Sorry for some Issues ;-).
