Known as the Cheddar Man, the remains were estimated to be 9,000 years old. 2: Hamilton Pool Preserve in Austin Texas Hamilton Pool Preserve, in Austin, Texas, was created quite naturally when the dome of an underground cave collapsed revealing this stunning natural pool. It is now frequented by day-trippers and naturalists. That’s naturalists not naturists, although no doubt someone has tried to go skinny dipping at one point! 3: Hamilton Pool from another perspective Hamilton Pool from another perspective. When there’s been heavy rainfall, 45ft waterfalls cascade from the rim of the cavern. It must be pretty spectacular when you’re bathing. 4: Stalagtites adorn the roof of Luray Caverns Virginia Stalagtites adorn the roof of Luray Caverns, Virginia, the still waters throwing a perfect reflection. 5: Wookey Caves in Somerset England.
