Images of the discoveries made by the Mendip Caving Group in Upper Flood Swallet in 2006. One of the discoveries was named Neverland as it was at first thought to be so beautiful that no-one would ever be allowed to enter the passage.
The cave was first discovered in 1968 after the Great Storm but it took 38 years of digging to reach the passages containing these formations. Photos by Mark Shinwell of CUCC used with his permission. More info at www.mendipcavinggroup.org.uk

amazing! do you need permission/ a key to enter this cave and how easy is it to get this far into the cave?

@AliceGoneStatic
Access controlled and technically difficult.
Google "Mendip Caving Group" for website (sorry, can't post links here for some reason)

probably shouldn't have pictures of all the stalactites knocked off the cave ceiling...not the best of recommendations

I can assure you that no stal has been knocked off the ceiling. The broken stal was present when the cave passage was discovered and has been left in situ. Broken stal is present throughout this cave, the reason is unclear but it all pre-dates exploration by cavers. The probable explanation is that it was caused be a (small) eartquake - Mendip does have them from time to time, the most recent was in about 2004 or 5 ( 2 or 3 years before this passage was found)

Just looked up the details of the small earthquake: A series of four tremors in and around Taunton on 29th January 2004, all measuring around 3 on the Richter scale. The first was at
1056 GMT; then one a minute later and the other two at 2023 GMT - just six
seconds apart.
