As what I thought was a straightforward clue has not been solved after more than six days, here are some more hints.
1 Ones already provided.
The name is in English.
There are several miles of limestone cave.
I had wished the image looked more like a mine entrance.
2 Additional guidance.
Look at the image, what do you see?
There are letters, they can be used in two ways (semantic and symbolic) to solve the puzzle.
The name consists of two words.
The letter count is 5,4
The image directly provides the first word.

At last! Carno Adit.
I hope a lot of folks now see how blindingly obvious the clue was.
I assume the published length of nearly 9km includes the access tunnel, but that is still miles of limestone cave.
Well done Robin.

Get your peepers around this lot.. It's a named passage within a cave.
The trouble is that it's only obvious if you know what's intended to be relevant, because the AI doesn't understand what it's including in the picture. I was looking for something related to the obvious mis-spelling or misprinting of "No Entry" and the car that appeared to be going into the tunnel, against the No Entry. Neither of those were things that you intended shown as they were, but I had no way to know that.

It's lucky then that AI has not chosen to depict a literal interpretation of what I type in above!

Yes, I suppose there is a subjective element. I admit the image was rushed, the AI confabulator seemed unable to come up with either a UK "No Entry" sign or even just the words, but insisted on some jumbled nonsense. I looked at the image and thought, well I can see a car and some sort of negative sign, so CAR NO should be obvious. Then, as an afterthought, realised the clue looked too much like a road tunnel so added the text clue that pointed to it being a mined entrance. You should have seen some of the images I rejected!
The Pollnagollum clue was in contrast both obvious and visually attractive.

That's the problem with AIs - I wasn't meaning to criticise your puzzle, just exploring the issues with getting AIs to do things. If you'd composed the image directly, by drawing or cut and paste, whatever, you wouldn't have included the things that distracted me.
