Ash Hole Cavern
Ash Hole Cavern submitted by lucasn : View from the back (Vote or comment on this photo)
Cave or Rock Shelter in Devon. A natural limestone cave situated above Brixham in Torbay, Devon, which evidence of human habitation dating as far back as the Neolithic period have been found, and a number of prehistoric artefacts. The caves are absolutely stunning, with multiple colours on the walls and a number of different chambers. Be warned though, the cave is very slippery with wet mud.
