Stalacmites and stalactites are found in all land caves including Wookey Hole with some that reach over 20 feet!

Not in "all" land caves, but certainly in most limestone caves - though even many of these have extensive series of passages with no formations in them.

Sadly, I don't think there are any stalactites 20+ft long in Wookey Hole, unless in the further reaches recently opened to tourists but which I have not visited. If there were, the 18C poet Alexander Pope probably stole them: he engaged marksmen to shoot stalactites down to decorate an artificial garden in his garden!
