Kents Cavern is one of the most important Stone Age sites in Europe and one of Britain’s best showcaves!

On your visit you’ll go back to a time when the cave was home to ancient humans, sheltering from extreme weather, making fires, shaping tools and hunting Ice Age animals. As you walk through the extensive labyrinth of caverns, you’ll be surrounded by 400 million-year-old rocks and spectacular stalagmites and stalactites.

Make a day of it when you book guided tours of Kents Cavern! Your ticket includes a tour with an expert guide, access to site facilities, entry to the Woodland Trail, and access to the Stone Age Zone.

All tours around the cave are guided and begin in the Vestibule Chamber, as you enter the cave you’ll feel the temperature at a constant 14°C.

Your tour guide will lead you through the caves to reveal how it was formed 2.5 million years ago and how stalagmite floors formed, sealing in the evidence of Ice Age occupations. You’ll see an abundance of stalagmites and stalactites decorating our chambers, and learn all about Kents Caverns excavations in the Victorian era.

In our Stone Age Zone you can view our extensive collection of artefacts and bones of the creatures which once roamed around inside these ancient walls. Children can embrace their inner explorer and dig for their very own gemstones to take home! Take a walk through our Woodland Trail to try your hand at shelter building and to discover an array of Ice Age animal sculptures – a perfect photo opportunity!

Finally, you can well deserved rest in the Firestone Kitchen, our on-site cafe, serving a range of delicious sweet treats, lunch options and beverages.
