What an incredible find. Wow! I can only imagine how old this is. Good idea to wear wellies and trousers. I would have. Thanks for sharing this very unique location with us and stay safe.
This was a very interesting place and history from way back. Couldn't do it with all the spiders and then the hole with the wasp. Very happy you did explore it. Many thanks
Caynton Caves Article Talk Language Watch Edit The Caynton Caves are a series of man-made underground chambers in the grounds of Caynton Hall, near Beckbury, Shropshire, England. Their original purpose and date of construction are disputed, though most authoritative sources date them to the 19th century. Entrance to the caverns View within the cavern, 2009 Contents Description and history Edit The caverns comprise an irregular series of neo-Romanesque ambulatories and chambers hollowed out of sandstone, with carved archways, pillars, symbols and niches, apparently for candles. They are located about 250 metres (820 ft) west of Caynton Hall, beneath privately-owned woodland, within a disused stone quarry. One suggestion is that they were the result of quarrying during the mid-19th century and were then turned by the landowners, the Legge family, into a grotto or underground folly.[1][2][3] There have been speculative claims that the caverns are older, perhaps dating back at least to the 17th century, and some press articles have associated them with the Knights Templar.[4][5] However, historian and author Dan Jones considers that there is no evidence linking the caves to the Templars [6] and Historic England dates the grotto as probably late 18th-century or early 19th-century.[7] The site is on private land and not open to the public.[2] However, since at least the 1980s, the caverns have sometimes been used for informal secret ceremonies and rituals. They have been vandalised and were closed off in 2012 as a result.[1][4] Later unblocked, they were accessed by a photographer and received widespread publicity in March
I love your explores with Tazer. The two of you just play off one another so we.. This was a very interesting place. I can't believe that there is so little information on it. It obviously took a lot of work to create over quite a period of time. Thanks for another great video.
I watched Exploring with Fighters (EWF) here a few months ago and the inner room was flooded with water. It's certainly an interesting place, wonder what the history is on it. Great video thanks Colin and Tazer xx
Sandstone caves in Cheshire were quarries.Ground up sandstone was a popular floor covering in country cottages. Today these caves are popular with youngsters who dabble in the occult.
What a fantastic location. Cool how it resembles a church or cathedral. To bad so many have defaced the walls, as it takes away from the original surfaces. Too bad there is so little known about it, surely it's very old, but how old and it's uses over many, many years is anyone's guess. Thanks for another great explore. Cheers 👊👍
Another quality video from T. B. E. I really enjoyed this one, an amazing place and what a lot of work must have gone into creating that under ground. Thanks again T. B. E 👍🏻
Hi Colin great to see you and Tazer exploring together,very interesting place,could imagine very spooky at night,you would wonder how they ever carved this cave's out thanks for sharing
12:26 the pink cave represents birth or growth. You should go back and unblock the sun that shines on the sun flower carving. Be the first in years to do it
Wow, I'd never heard of this place, biut it's pretty impressive. The time, skill and dedication taken to carve all this out is incredible. Carving out a cave system must be hard enough, but when you add pillars and vaulted ceilings too, then it's hard to imagine how much work went into this.
What a great vlog. So unusual to find that under ground. The only one I knew was the triangle with an eye in it being the all seeing eye, or in my life that's the wife. Thank you glad you dressed for the journey. 👍👍🥂
I've seen cave almost the same is this, somewhere, Archaeologists investigated it and they said it was used and may well have been used by Druids, could it be the same thing, they were in to some strange things or so I was told. Templar were skilled builders/engineers, to me this looks to rough for there work.
How are you? Hope your doing well. I really loved that video. It was cool seeing all those wall carvings. Keep up the cool videos. Stay safe and take care.
This is 1 mile from where i live , a regular hangout for myself and freinds who would go down and smoke weed , the place looks amazing with candles lit down there , unless you know its there you will never find ths place i also think it may have been fenced off not been past it for a while.
Fascinating place and a really interesting video, thanks ❤️👍 surprising how many churches and chapels built by the Knights Templar are still in existence world wide ❤️ even if it’s origins are not connected to the Templars, which no one can be completely sure of, still a great little place to explore 🥰
I found the connection. I must get completing my book. Just a little give away of the book, the caves are 4 mils from a church containing the tombs of Knight Templars and 8 miles from a Templar church.
I use to do it when I walk through some something an old bush hermit showed me years ago it only stings you if you brush up on it really fine hair like needless but soft
With so many pillars, makes me feel like something else should be above it or even below. I hate how people feel like they have to tag their names to places like these. It takes away, not adds. Still beautiful. I'm sure it was for grinding but the big bowl looked like a chamber pot!😂
A fascinating explore , Colin . I think you may have stumbled upon Aleister Crowley's Summer retreat . A shame about those candle vandals . Please let us know if , Tazer does give birth . lol . As always , thanks for entertaining us , and stay safe .
This cave is very reminiscent of the caves in Malta (where a group of school children and their teacher disappeared). The Maltese cross is from the templars cross.
The story you are thinking of is made up. There is no evidence for any of the events presented in it. In addition it follows several common troupes of internet scary stories. The caves are real and very impressive though and I highly recommend anyone who travels to Malta go vist.
Maltese cross was used by the Knights of St John, The Hospitalliers, rather than the Templars. Although the modern Freemasonic Knights Templar use a version of it. The cross most associated with the Templars, is the Cross of Lorraine, with its double cross piece.
These caves have nothing to do with witchcraft or rituals except modern day some people have held night rituals in them for their own beliefs. The Templars probably didn't use these either but they were commonly called The Templars Caves. I won't say the real name or where they are situated either. There is definitely a font there and the feathers of the Templars suggesting certain chambers for meditation or reflection. Possibly built as a retreat for a religious person or hermit. 💕🇦🇺
Yeah, was thinking along the lines of professional hermit or a folly. Some estates back in the day had a purpose built hermitage complete with resident hermit as a show of wealth.
Places like this are of historical importance and should be protected , beautiful place and the work that went in to it . Shame it's been invaded by idiots and the mess that's been left behind . Another enjoyable video thanks T B E and always good to see tazer too
Supposedly it's an 18th or 19th century folly. Vaguely reminiscent of the Hellfire Caves at West Wycombe. I wouldn't rule out the possibility of it being medieval, though. Possibly a hermitage or a chapel of some sort. The stone cauldron thing looks like a font, albeit a bit on the small and shallow side. Very intriguing and creepy-looking place, either way! (It also reminds me of ancient catacombs, such as I've visited on Malta.)
The best cure for sting nettle is the leaves it's self rub them together some milky substance will come out of it a rub that on the burning parts of the skin works instantly no pain
Thank you fellas so much for posting this. Regardless of the actual history it seems a very interesting and atmospheric site. Also can't help but feel like I'm watching the intro to some found footage horror film. Just waiting for some large shadow person to glide out from behind a pillar with ragged arms outstretched lol. Thanks again and greetings from North Florida!
I don't believe for one single minute this was built in the 19th century, it's more likely to have been rediscovered in the 19th century but probably used hundreds of years ago even possibly by druid's and the likes. It would be fascinating to see it completely clearer of rubbish and soil etc then gone over with a metal detector. I reckon there's still thing's to be discovered in there!!!
Nik Kershaw sang The Riddle. The lyrics go... Near a tree by the river there's a hole in the ground, where an old man of arun goes around and around. Wonder where that came from?
That just blew my mind, I would love to have been down there, mind u I'd take a few black sacks and remove the crap left, what a historic gem. I need to know more about this place
These caves are amazing, I’m local to them. Rumoured to be connected to local churches through an intricate tunnel system. However parts of this cave system have either fell in or have been filled in. Currently home to the local kids who like to frequent the caves for their drinking club, getting wasted and leaving their rubbish, such a shame. The caves are on private land, the owners have been subject to many idiots knocking their door disturbing the peace, breaking fences etc etc. i hear they don’t want the the hassle of dealing with the public (don’t hold me to this it’s rumour I’ve heard from locals) It would be amazing if they were restored explored opens up but I can’t see that happening any time soon.

Not so secret, took me 2 minutes to find the place. Its reckoned they were dug out in the 19th century so not connected to the Templars. Still a good video though 😃
I’m only a minute and a half in and I already feel like I can’t breathe. 😳 *And now SPIDERS?! Never. I wonder what kind of satan worshiping sacrifice went on down there. Nightmare fuel. 💀 **it just keeps getting worse!! 😆😆😆
An Amazing find. Hundreds of years old. Such a shame people leave their garbage everywhere 😪. This should be protected space from vandalism.
WELL SAID!!🙂
Too true, unfortunately you can't protect much from stupid.
Thousands of years
I would happily go there and clean it up
It's sad to see the vandalism and all the crap that they could have cleaned up and why is it not being preserved
