Cox's Cave & The Crystal Quest — Attraction in Cheddar

Cox's Cave in Cheddar Gorge is a must-see! From the moment you step inside, you're greeted by an underground world that’s both beautiful and fascinating.

The cave itself is stunning. The intricate stalactites and stalagmites look like nature’s own sculptures. What makes it even more magical is the way the cave is lit up. The lighting is perfectly done to highlight the natural details, casting a beautiful glow that enhances the cave’s ethereal atmosphere. It’s truly like walking through an enchanted underground landscape.

The tour is automatic, which is pretty convenient and informative. As you move from one stage to the next, the audio guide kicks in and shares interesting facts about the cave’s history, geology, and the discoveries made there. It’s like having a personal tour guide that ensures you don’t miss any key points.

However, one downside is that because it’s an automatic tour, you have to move on to the next stage once the guide is done talking. This means you don’t get to linger and take in the true beauty of the cave for as long as you might want. It can feel a bit rushed, especially if you’re someone who loves to explore and soak in every detail.

Despite this, the experience is still fantastic. The cave’s historical background is fascinating, and the tour does a great job of bringing it to life. You learn about how the cave has been used over the years, including as a hideout and place of refuge, which adds an extra layer of intrigue to your visit.

In summary, Cox's Cave offers a captivating journey through a beautiful and historically rich underground world. The automatic tour is informative and ensures you get a comprehensive look at the cave’s features, even if it means you can’t linger as long as you’d like. It’s a perfect spot for anyone interested in nature and history.

So, if you’re in Cheddar Gorge, definitely check out Cox's Cave. It’s a visually stunning and educational experience that’s well worth your time. Highly recommended for families, solo adventurers, and anyone looking to explore the hidden wonders of the...

Definitely didn't worth the money, I mean we went there to see caves and that cox's cave was honestly the size of a double bedroom divided into 5 or 6 small rooms, absolutely pathetic plus they hang those fur carpets everywhere on the walls and rubber mattresses on the floor to prevent people falling but I mean it's a cave, it takes it away of the feeling, they really don't need those there, and the videos are typical boring dry school stuff, it really would be better without them, some sausages stopped in each room to watch the 3-4 minute videos having people queue up behind them so we ended up basically getting stuck behind people the whole time we really just wanted to get out at the end, and we still spent like a maximum of 5mins inside it was THAT small, it shouldn't even be called a cave, I mean when "I went to see the caves" and paid £20 each ticket I was expecting going through tunnels and huge rooms for at least an hour like in Romania for example but we went through both caves in about 30mins, the coughs cave was a little better but still way too small for the price, I probably wouldn't go back to the...

It's not a bad little adventure. It felt more like a little side show than a cave in a way.

We came here after going to Gough's cave.

This cave felt a little more interactive, with a computer guide that talks you through the trip. This made the experience feel a little rushed, like you should keep up with the computer guide, and may end up moving through the sections a little too quickly.

It was a faily decent. It didn't have the same feel as Gough's cave did, but in its own right, it was a great experience. It was worth the explore, and the guide was informative.

The cave does have some interesting crevices and features to look at. It focuses on a continuous passage that leads toward a separate exit.

I think this is better suited towards family's with their kids. The details from the computer tour weren't as detailed in contrast to what was provided in Gough's cave, and due to that, the adventure felt shorter.

I would still recommend this place for anyone who is...
