Cold water baths at Stackhouse Cove
During the 18th Century, cold water bathing became popular amongst the upper classes. John Stackhouse had two baths cut into the rock at Stackhouse Cove, one on the beach and another hidden inside a cave where a flow of springwater keeps the bath constantly topped-up. The cave can be identified by a narrow oval opening with green algae below this where the springwater trickles out.
