Mother Ludlam's Cave, Cave in Farnham, England.
The sandstone cave extends about 200 feet into the cliff of Wey Valley, featuring a natural spring and an ironstone arched entrance.
In 1218, a monk named Symon identified the cave's spring as a water supply for Waverley Abbey after their original source dried up.
Local tales connect the cave to Mother Ludlam, a white witch who lent items to villagers until her cauldron was stolen by the devil.
The cave entrance remains sealed with iron gates for safety, but visitors can view it from a public footpath through Moor Park.
The cave serves as a protected habitat for multiple bat species, including Natterer's Bat, Daubenton's Bat, and Long-eared Bat.
