Stoke Lane Slocker, Limestone cave in Stoke St Michael, England.
Stoke Lane Slocker extends for 2.25 kilometers through the Carboniferous Limestone of the Mendip Hills, featuring multiple chambers and underwater passages.
Initial exploration of the cave system began in 1905 by Mr. Marshall from Stratton-on-the-Fosse, with major discoveries continuing through the 1960s and 1971.
The cave contains the Throne Room with stalactite formations named The King and The Queen, referencing Queen Victoria during the mapping expeditions.
Due to reported cases of Weil's Disease and underwater passages, visitors need specialized equipment and should follow strict safety protocols when exploring the cave system.
The Bone Chamber reveals ancient human and animal remains alongside ash and charcoal deposits, while Bernard's Rift displays crystal pools with calcite-encrusted goniatite shells.
