A Pencil Sketch by Claude Buckle - Wookey Hole

A pencil sketch of Wookey Hole by Claude Buckle
Britain’s most spectacular caves and legendary home of the infamous Witch of Wookey… Revamped, restored and totally remarkable, the new Wookey Hole Experience is bursting onto the 2013 holiday scene in an explosive mix of HISTORY, MYSTERY & FUN! To this day a very popular torist destination. Wookey Hole is 2 miles from the beautiful medieval city of wells, and 20 miles from Bath(A39), Bristol(A37) and Weston Super Mare (A371) in Somerset. Can be related to Cheddar gorge just up the road in the direction of Western-Super-Mare as it is used to mature cheddar cheeses. Wookey Hole Caves is a show cave and tourist attraction in the village of Wookey Hole on the southern edge of the Mendip Hills near Wells in Somerset, England. Wookey Hole cave was formed through erosion of the limestone hills by the River Axe. Before emerging at Wookey Hole the water enters underground streams and passes through other caves such as Swildon's Hole and St Cuthbert's Swallet. After resurging, the waters of the River Axe are used in a handmade paper mill, the oldest extant in Britain, which began operations circa 1610, although a corn grinding mill operated there as early as 1086.[1] 1935
