We are proud to announce we’ve joined the South West Coast Path Way Makers Scheme – a new reason for coastal walkers to stop, rest, and explore. Whether you’re an avid passport stamper or simply seeking a rewarding break along your hike, Kents Cavern offers a unique mix of natural history, scenic refreshment, and unforgettable adventure.

As part of the South West Coast Path experience, walkers can collect stamps in their Coast Path Passport at participating venues. We’re delighted to now be one of them! Our café, located just a short detour from the path in Torquay, welcomes walkers (and their four-legged companions) to take a well-earned rest while collecting their stamp.
