The Cheddar Caves are a series of limestone caves located in the village of Cheddar in Somerset, England. These caves are famous for their stunning rock formations and prehistoric significance, as they contain evidence of human habitation dating back thousands of years. The caves are part of the Cheddar Gorge, which is a popular tourist destination known for its dramatic cliffs and natural beauty. One of the most notable discoveries in the Cheddar Caves is the skeleton of Cheddar Man, a Mesolithic human who lived around 10,000 years ago. The caves also feature impressive stalactites and stalagmites, formed over millennia by mineral-rich water dripping through the limestone. Today, visitors can explore the caves and learn about their geological and archaeological importance.
