Ever since we have been in Cornwall we have been fascinated by the beauty of the slate buildings and walls. We now had the chance to see where it all came from. Carnglaze consists of three underground caverns set in a beautiful wooded hillside near Liskeard. We had a 45 minute tour which took us through the caverns, one being of Cathedral proportions. We also saw a subterranean lake with crystal clear blue/green water. It's absolutely amazing to think that this had been hand created by local slate minors over centuries.The only dampener on the day was locking our car keys inside the car. Thankfully we met some very nice people who went well out of their way to help us. Kim and her three children and the R.C.A. man couldn't have done more for us. After two hours we finally drove home with our tail between our legs. Could been worse, but thank goodness for kind and good people.
