Cave details

   
Length:
2.135 km

Mendip

A major showcave that makes up part of the very popular Cheddar Gorge attractions. The early passage is large with many grottoes (most using some amount of fakery), with some large completely natural formations later. A small amount of cave is reserved for (paid) adventure caving. Substantial amounts of the cave are flooded, and accessible only to cave divers, with deep sumps and very little dry passage between them. Access is controlled by the Cheddar Caves & Gorge company.
