Bakers Pit

Bakers Pit is a phreatic maze cave system near Buckfastleigh, Devon, England.

[3] It has 3.631 kilometres (2.256 mi) of passage contained within an area of 4 hectares (9.9 acres) and a small stream, flowing to the River Dart, that is still actively developing the cave.

[5] Connections between the two systems have been filled in with concrete to protect the beautiful formations in the Reeds cave.

[7] In the early 1960s an upper series was discovered significantly extending the known cave by as much as 50 per cent by climbing a vertical slot in the roof.

Devon caves are good places to find humidity-loving collembola and Pseudosinella dobati (a blind white cave-adapted species), Symphyla isabellae, Tetracanthella britannica and Heteromurus nitidus have been recorded in Baker's Pit.
