St Pauls Cathedral
Not the famous one in London but the name given to this startling formation in Gough's Cave, Cheddar Gorge (SW England). The cave is the largest show cave in Britain; the oldest complete human skeleton in the UK was found near the entrance dated to 7000BC. Nothing prepares you for the sight of this 'waterfall' as you go deep into the cave itself. It truly looks amazing, solely the work of Mother Nature. I read that iron oxide has interacted with the cascading stalactites of limestone to create the intense variations of reds,browns and yellows. I took other photos closer in but this hopefully gives some idea of the scale. It's huge!
