Upper Flood Swallet, Mendip, England
Upper Flood Swallet on Mendip is one of the best decorated caves in the UK, a tremendous result for the diggers who put in so much effort for so many years to open a way through into this superb cave system. A series of crawls and squeezes, followed by a convoluted route through a boulder choke, brings the lucky visitor to the Departure Lounge, from which point onwards there is a truly awesome display of flowstone, stalactites and stalactites. There is (quite rightly) a strict leader system in place for visiting this cave. It should be on every caver's list of places to visit; it's most certainly worth the effort!

Almost pure white in colour, these small curtains and stalactites in Upper Flood Swallet are as attractive to look at as the larger formations that are also found in great abundance in the cave |
