Description
This is an entrance feature to Stalactite Cave, dating from the early 19th century. The entrance is built of rubble and uncut stone. It features a curving flight of 17 steps leading down between two retaining walls. The steps are accessed between two small piers topped with pyramidal caps. At the mouth of the cave is a round-headed arch set within a retaining wall, which has a rudimentary string course and is surmounted by a pediment, all roughly constructed. It is one of a group of picturesque estate features designed and built by Bishop Law, an antiquarian, on his Banwell estate near Bath and Wells.
