GB Cave, Limestone cave in Mendip Hills, England.
GB Cave extends through the limestone bedrock with a main chamber measuring 20 meters wide, 23 meters high, and 122 meters in length.
The University of Bristol Spelaeological Society discovered the cave entrance in November 1939 after conducting ten months of methodical excavation work.
The name GB derives from F.J. Goddard and C.C. Barker, two members of the University of Bristol Spelaeological Society who led the discovery.
The Charterhouse Caving Company maintains strict control over cave access, requiring advance arrangements and maintaining a locked entrance for safety purposes.
The cave contains the Gorge, a water-carved passage stretching 90 meters with heights reaching 12 meters and widths extending to 6 meters.
