A huge sinkhole has opened up near a walking route in Caerphilly, much to the shock of locals. It was first discovered over the weekend, after passers-by saw it when out on their walks.
One man who is keen on photography was determined to get a look at the crater-like hole in the ground on common land near Graig-y-Rhacca housing estate in Caerphilly. It is thought to have been spotted on Saturday, January 14 at around 9:30am, and Penfold Brindle, who lives nearby, headed out to see what all the fuss was about on Monday, January 16.
He ventured out with his drone camera to view how deep it was from above, and posted his findings on YouTube. The footage shows the giant hole next to the main road, Addison Way, positioned right next to a public footpath.
