Why this matters

The Hellfire Caves are a limestone cave system formed through natural dissolution processes typical of Carboniferous Limestone in the Chiltern Hills. The caves are associated with 18th-century folklore involving the Hellfire Club, a group known for their extravagant and allegedly scandalous gatherings.

What is recorded here

The Hellfire Caves is shown as a cave on the public map of Buckinghamshire. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
