Wookey Hole is a tourist cave in Somerset, England, on the southern edge of the limestone Mendip hills named for the adjacent village of Wookey and 3 km from Wells. It was formed by the action of the River Axe.

Especially famous is the Witch of Wookey Hole - a roughly human shaped rock outcrop, reputedly turned to stone by a monk from Glastonbury.

The caves, at a constant 11 degrees Celsius, have been used by humans for around 50,000 years.
