Plan Your Visit
About your tour
Your guided tour will take you back to a time when the cave was home to ancient humans, sheltering from extreme weather, making fires, shaping tools and hunting prehistoric Ice Age animals. As you walk easily through the extensive labyrinth of caverns, you will experience a moment of total darkness, and be surrounded by 400 million year old rocks and spectacular cave formations. Kents Cavern is open all year, close to secluded beaches and coastal walks. It is one of Britain's few prehistoric heritage attractions and convenienlty situated in the heart of the UNESCO Global Geopark.
