Kents Cavern Prehistoric Caves

Kents Cavern Prehistoric Caves is one of the most important Stone Age caves in Europe. This spectacular rock formation hides traces of human presence from over half a million years ago, including the oldest human fossil in northwestern Europe - a jaw from 41,000 years ago!

During the hour-long guided tour, you will learn the fascinating history of the three species of humans that inhabited the cave: Homo heidelbergensis, Neanderthals and Homo sapiens. You will also see impressive stalagmites and stalactites formed over millions of years.

For the little ones, there is a Stone Age Zone with interactive attractions and a Forest Trail where you can hunt prehistoric beasts.
