Cox’s Cave is in Cheddar Gorge on the Mendip Hills in Somerset England. It is open to the public as a show cave.The cave is named after mill owner George Cox who discovered it in 1837 while quarrying limestone for a new building. Cox immediately opened it as a show cave and ran it as a private enterprise until landowner Thomas Thynne 5th Marquess of Bath took it over at the beginning of the 20th century.The cave consists of seven small grottoes joined by low archways.
