Kents Cavern Prehistoric Caves

Kents Cavern is one of the most important Stone Age cave sites in Europe, making it Britain’s premier prehistoric cave. For thousands of years the cave was home to ancient humans, sheltering from extreme weather, making fires, shaping stone tools and hunting wild Ice Age predators. You will be taken back to these ancient times as you walk through the extensive labyrinth of caverns surrounded by spectacular stalactite and stalagmite formations.

We regret that only assistant dogs are permitted in the caves.

The caves are accessible for hand-pushed chairs, no more than 70cm wide. The person pushing the chair must be physically strong. Disabled facilities are available onsite.
