       The sea was wonderfully clear with a forest of kelp highlighting the occasional fish
 Dorset Property Care   that darted here and there. Jonathan shouted over “Let me show you the caves.
       They are brilliant!” So we swam the hundred metres to the east to discover before
 Allan Slater   us a cathedral of rocks opening up into a vast cavernous cave.
 Based in Briantspuddle
       The  sea  was  still  quite  rough

       crashing  against  the  rocks  and

       Once  inside  the  cave,  I  was  able

       calm  and  light  from  the  outside

 www.dorsetpropertycare.co.uk   experience and I felt so small as I looked at the intricate rock formations pink in
       colour that made a backdrop of stunning beauty. It had taken millions of years in
       its formation and I felt a sense of permanence, which no matter what happened
       in the world, this will always be here.
    G P Lewis    I wanted to stay longer but realised that this might cause a little anxiety for those
 Interior/Exterior Painter & Decorator   we left on shore. We took the next rush of water out of the cave and suddenly we
       were in brilliant sunshine and the clear blue sea. As we swam back to the ledge I
       realised that perhaps the trickiest bit was going to be getting out.
