Quick facts
The first chamber holds the Witch of Wookey, a stalagmite named for a local legend of a witch turned to stone by a monk from Glastonbury.
The River Axe flows through the cave and emerges at the surface at about 789 litres a second.
Balcombe and Powell's dives here in 1935 were the first successful cave dives in Britain.
