Kents Cavern

Step back in time at Kents Cavern Prehistoric Caves, one of Devon’s most fascinating natural and historical attractions. Nestled in Torquay on the English Riviera, this prehistoric cave system offers visitors a unique journey through millions of years of geological and human history.

Kents Cavern is celebrated for its extensive labyrinth of caverns, dramatic stalagmites, stalactites and other spectacular cave formations created over hundreds of millions of years. It’s widely regarded as one of Europe’s top Stone Age cave sites, once home to early humans, Neanderthals and Ice Age animals. Guided tours bring this ancient story to life, interpreting archaeological finds and volcanic eras alike.

A visit here isn’t just about natural wonder; it’s also a cultural experience. The site sits within the English Riviera UNESCO Global Geopark and offers a mix of deep subterranean exploration and engaging above-ground activities like woodland trails and interactive displays.
