Dido's Cave is a picturesque sea cave located on the north coast of Cornwall, England. The cave is situated in a rugged and rocky shoreline, surrounded by towering cliffs and dramatic scenery. The cave's entrance is a tall, narrow archway that opens into a spacious interior chamber, with a high ceiling and rough, rocky walls. The cave is partially lit by natural light that filters in through the entrance, and the air inside is cool and damp. The cave's floor is covered in pebbles and shells, and the sound of the waves crashing against the shore outside creates a soothing, echoing effect within the cave.
little more than an alcove, probably built in the 1720s, originally decorated with a painting of Dido and Aeneas. In c.1781 the facade was decorated with tufa by the Marchioness of Buckingham. Her son the 1st Duke of Buckingham turned it into her memorial by adding the inscription Mater Amata, Vale! (Farewell beloved Mother). The designer is unknown.
Boring. Looks like it's made from concrete
