Thousands and thousands!You would have to trawl through the world's caving literature to count them all. I'll leave that you - I'd rather explore caves than count them.However, intrigued by this, I carried out an approximate count of the index in my 1977 edition of the UK cavers' guide-book, Northern Caves Vol.5.It lists roughly 450 caves - and that in just part of the North of England.Mendip Underground 1987 is a similar guide to around 60 caves on the geographically compact Mendip Hills,S.W. England - there are many more caves on Mendipbut that book details onlythe caves of greater interest to the "sporting" caver.So there are 500+ caves in just 2 areas of England. Now consider all the other caves in the UK and Eire, then think of all those in France, the USA, Russia, S.E.Asia, Greece, Mexico, .....
well i think that there is more than 300 caves in the world
