The cave is the most important Stone Age dwelling in Britain and this makes it a unique natural resource. Here people of all ages can learn about the history and geography of these famous Devon caves. Our programme of educational visits is designed to deliver learning and enjoyment across a range of curriculum subjects all within the safe underground environment of the oldest home in Britain.
