The Lost Cave of Axbridge

Until the 1920s the hills above Axbridge were extensively mined for ochre. Following the Second World War disused workings lay dotted about the hillside, overgrown and merging with the greenery of Mendip. The miners were now old and their memories had faded, but all agreed: beneath Axbridge Hill lay a large cave. Has this been rediscovered?

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR EU CUSTOMERS

On 1 July 2021 the EU removed all exemptions for tax and customs duty on low-value items posted from the UK to the EU, meaning that although VAT is 0% on books and magazines in the UK, it is charged within the EU and the VAT (potentially plus a handling fee) now applies to all orders to the EU.

All small publishers in the UK are now in the same position – we are unable to post any items to the EU with VAT or other duties paid.

When ordering any item from Stalactite Publishing, including a Descent subscription, you accept responsibility for paying the VAT and any other local charges on delivery.

Stalactite Publishing is not able to cover any charges levied by your country; it is your responsibility to accept these when placing an order.

We apologise for this situation, but please understand that it is outside our control.
