Cave Entry

Cave Entry

Underneath the mysterious Forest of Dean lies a hidden world, spectacular and unseen, a vast natural cave system that has been mined for thousands of years.

The Caves are self-guided — no need for a hard hat — explore winding passages and 10 unique caverns. Learn about more than 4,500 years of mining history and experience the excitement of being 100ft below ground. 

Cave Entry includes the Back to the Cave sculpture exhibition until the end of August.

Above ground, there is plenty of free parking for visitors. Our Lamproom Café offers organic coffee, lovely cakes and light lunches for hungry adventurers to fuel up.

 

Easter Half Term

12th – 27th April

Hop underground this Easter and join the adventure! Explore the magical depths of the Caves and spot the woodland birds’ nests tucked away in the rock. Count the eggs for the chance to win egg-celent goodies from our gift shop in our Easter prize draw!

The egg hunt is included with your usual ‘Cave Entry’ during 12th to 27th April, and the Caves are open as normal over Easter for all visitors to enjoy.
