If Faries are to be found, then this is surely a place that they might dwell?

Cornwall & Devon both have a long history of Folklore relating to Fairy Folk.

The Piskies: - mischievous sprites that live in secret on moorlands and other isolated places . Sometimes they were considered to be the souls of departed who haunted the high places. Piskies were also notorious for distracting travelers and getting them lost or Piskie led. There is a saying in West Cornwall "Piskie led is often Whiskey Led".

The Knockers: - Spirits of the mine who every miner worked hard to placate by giving small scraps of food.

The Spriggans: - Spriggans were grotesquely ugly, found at old ruins and barrows guarding buried treasure and generally acting as fairy bodyguards. They were also said to be busy thieves.

Browneys:- The helpful household spirits who often needed to be placated like their fairy cousins the knockers.

The general name fairy was sometimes used especially in descriptions of magical little people found in isolated places such as sea side dunes, moors or high Carns.

I have turned off comments due to the inability of some to grasp that the fairies in the video are merely illustrative of the spiritual, magickle & emotive nature of this ravine, that if there are fairies, then this is such a place as they would dwell.
