Key Stage 2

Kents Cavern is a Stone Age treasure chest. Three different human species, including Neanderthals and Britains oldest modern human have lived here in the last 500,000 years. They shared the cave and the outside area with extinct animals like Woolly Mammoths and Cave Bears.

Nowhere else in Devon can your class walk into the home of Stone Age people, making Kents Cavern the ideal place to enhance your topic on life in ancient Britain. 

For education enquiries, please email [email protected] or telephone 01803 215136.

All of our visits for KS2 include a broad range of information based on how the caves were formed, the people and animals that lived at Kents Cavern throughout the Stone Age and the Victorian archaeologists that worked here. Through this, we are able to cover a number of learning objectives from the National Curriculum.

Our educational visit runs from 10:30-13:45, it includes a guided tour of the cave, a break for lunch and two half an hour activities based around your topic. We have free coach or minibus parking and each class has a designated area on site to leave bags, coats and lunches. Each class also has their own dedicated member of our excellent education team, taking charge of the day from the moment you step foot off the coach right up to the end of your visit.

Please note, due to the size of the site at Kents Cavern, we are unable to host more than two classes in one day.
