Willis' Cave is a cave in the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar.[1]

Description

The cave is named for Captain Willis who made such a contribution in the Twelfth Siege of Gibraltar in 1704-5 that this cave was (probably) named for him. He did give his name to Willis' Road, Willis' Battery (now Princess Royal's Battery), Magazine and Guard.[2]
